07-02-13 - Little Falls MVA With Entrapment - Route 46 East

On Tuesday, July 2nd shortly before 6am the Little Falls NJ Fire Department responded to Route 46 Eastbound near Notch Road for a multi-truck MVA with entrapment. Crews arrived to find a tractor trailer that struck two box trucks and then a guide rail. The cab of the truck sustained heavy damage in the collision as it appears it rear-ended a box truck carrying milk during the collision. The impact pinned the driver heavily in the cab and with serious injuries. Mutual Aid rescue from the Paterson NJ Fire Department was requested. After a shot time of intensive work, the driver was freed and transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center. A medevac was requested but was grounded due to weather.
