Heavy lifting by firefighters frees teen pinned in crash

Advertisements [?]

Good stuff.

She was face down between the van and a snowbank, yelling for someone to "get me out."

The firefighters had the equipment to lift the van in their rescue truck, but the captains from Clareview and Londonderry stations figured they could do it faster on their own.

So eight or 10 of the firefighters, including Clareview Capt. Larry Kozachuk, gathered around the back of the smashed-up Ford Freestar and lifted the rear of that 1,815-kilogram vehicle off the girl as paramedics pulled her free.
