While wrapping up at the previous alarm, companies 07 (Ridley Park), 08 (Prospect Park), Ambulance 48 (Tinicum), Ambulance 02 (Norwood) and Medic 102 (Taylor Hospital) were dispatched to the 300 block of Hinckson Blvd in town for an accident with entrapment.  Upon arrival, a vehicle was found overturned with a single occupant trapped inside.  07-1's crew (RP) initiated fire protection with an charged hose line while Rescue 08's crew (PP) provided vehicle stabilization and created an extrication pathway.  Once complete, EMS crew quickly packaged and removed the patient for tranport to the hospital for treatment.  Crews remained on-scene while the vehicle was "righted" and the road was cleared of debris.  Strong work by all on-scene.
