The Copiague Fire Department responded to a two-car MVA with entrapment at Great Neck Road and Anthony Court. A mid-size vehicle collided with a compact car, trapping the driver of the compact. The crew from Heavy Rescue 1-3-3 put tools into operation to remove the rear driver’s door and B post to access and extricate the driver in about 15 minutes. There was a total of seven people injured in the collision and all were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Mutual aid ambulances from Lindenhurst, Amityville and North Amityville assisted in transporting the injured.
