Abingdon Volunteer Fire and Rescue were dispatched to an accident at the Crewe Road intersection with Hwy 17. Crews reported that the driver of one vehicle was trapped inside, fire officials said. The position of that vehicle presented a challenge since it was in a deep ditch and had sustained heavy damage. Firefighters worked to stabilize the Jeep so that the roof could be removed safely, while our medics began to provide patient care.

LifeEvac was contacted so that the patient could be quickly transported via helicopter after being extricated.
