Details:

Firefighters from the Newtown Fire Association, medics from the Newtown Ambulance Squad, and police from the Newtown Township Police Department, Middletown Township Police Department, and the Lower Makefield Police Department responded to a three vehicle accident with entrapment at the intersection of Newtown Yardley Road and the Newtown Bypass. Crews on scene discovered a tractor trailer resting in the middle of the bypass, a Volvo V70 to the left of the trailer with extensive front end damage with an injured occupant, and a Nissan Sentra lodged completely underneath the trailer with one male heavily entrapped. Rescue crews went in service with an extensive array of rescue tools, and were able to free the entrapped driver of the Nissan in sixteen minutes. Medics on scene were unable to revive the patient, and the man sadly succumbed to his injuries. Crews remained on scene until the Bucks County Coroner transported the victim, and tow trucks removed all the vehicles that were involved. It is believed that the driver of the Volvo fell asleep while driving, causing her to crash into the tractor trailer. Less then a minute later, witnesses reported that the Nissan crashed into the side of the stopped truck.
