Wormleysburg Borough – MVA Vehicle in the Water
Posted by: Shaun Donovan
At 18:22 on Saturday April 27, Company 13, Harrisburg River Rescue, and New Cumberland River Rescue was alerted for a Motor Vehicle Accident with entrapment, vehicle in the water at the intersection of Front Street and Locust Street in the Borough of Wormleysburg. Initial reports were for a vehicle that went off Front Street into the Susquehanna River with the occupants still inside the vehicle. Chief 13 arrived on scene and advised that there was a single vehicle in the river at the entrance to the Locust Street Boat Ramp, and that the driver and sole occupant was out of the vehicle. Engine 313 arrived on the scene and assisted EMS in getting the patient, who had climbed to the top of the embankment, into the ambulance. Squad 13 arrived shortly afterward and both crews began setting up the rope systems to facilitate operations to recover the van from the river. Ultimately in order to retrieve the vehicle members of Harrisburg River Rescue and the West Shore Bureau of Fire used rope systems to lower personnel down to the vehicle to secure it and to attach winch cables for retrieval.
Members of Harrisburg River Rescue and the West Shore Bureau of Fire operated for four hours while the vehicle was recovered from the river.
