For the second time on Friday, August 4, 2017, Lynbrook firefighters responded to a serious auto accident in Lynbrook.  At approximately 6:30 PM firefighters, under the command of First Assistant Chief William Abrams, responded to a two-vehicle accident with entrapment at Peninsula Blvd and Vincent Avenue.  Truck Company, Tally-Ho, Medical Company, and Northwell Health ambulances responded to the scene.  A female driving an SUV collided with a second vehicle at the intersection and was trapped in the driver's seat.  Truck Company used their extrication tools to take off the driver's door so Medical Company personnel could remove the driver to a stretcher.  She was transported to the hospital in the Medical Company ambulance.  The driver of the second vehicle was attended to by Northwell Health paramedics who transported that driver to the hospital in their ambulance.  Tally-Ho assisted at the scene and secured the two vehicles.
