On May 20th, 2017 at 1921 the Sadsburyville Fire Company was dispatched to cover the Westwood Fire Company on their second call. The incident was for a tractor trailer accident on the Route 30 Bypass at mile marker 270.1 in Valley Township. Westwood EMS was also dispatched and responding.

Units arrived within minutes and found a tractor trailer that was in the middle of the median. The accident was only a single tractor trailer versus the guardrail and caused damaged to the guard rail for about 200'.

Fortunately there were no injuries and no needed hazard control. Westwood Fire Police remained on location for quite some time until Fling's Towing could remove the tractor trailer from the roadway.
 
Units: Engine 31-1
