Bysanders Flip Car Over, Littleton CO 4-29-15

[Guest]

On Wednesday morning Littleton Firefighters were dispatched to a rollover accident on westbound C-470 near Colorado Blvd.  Multiple 911 callers reported the incident in several wrong locations initially which created access problems for responders.  Upon arrival a single vehilce was found on its side and bysanders were performing CPR.  The crew from LFR 17 crossed over the highway cable barrier and westbound lanes and began patient care.

With a trauma core the crew moved quickly and was assisted by Medic 15.

Witnesses couldn't confirm if only one person had been ejected and there was concern someone may have been trapped under the car.  I've never seen this take place before but Engine 16's Captain gathered bystanders and Sheriff Deputies to flip the car over and check.

Great photos, Eric. That's great teamwork. Loved seeing the utility contractors lending a hand.
