Sambag head-on collision accident at noon

Just after pulling out from WVSU Medical Center from the drowning case last March 26, 2012 at around 12noon. Dispatch received a radio transmission from a TMTRO personnel based in Sambag, Jaro, that there is a vehicular accident involving a pick-up and a passenger jeepney with passengers on-board. The informant reported that there were multiple victims and the driver of the jeepney was pinned down on his vehicle. The jeepney was going towards Pavia while the pick-up was going towards Jaro Plaza. It was reported that the jeep tried overtake 3 or 4 vehicles based on the eyewitness accounts. Rescue 1 ambulance was dispatched to location together with Medic2 which came from all the way from the base station.

Upon arrival, Rescue 1 crew initiated crowd control and identified the patients. Rescue 1 team then quickly assessed the trapped driver. Upon inspection it was noted that his legs were trapped against the steering wheel and his driver's seat. The jeepney passengers were assessed upon the arrival of Medic 2 ambulance loaded with two teams and a MCI(Mass Casualty Incident) KIT to accommodate the numbers of patients reported. However, it was later realized by the teams that the reported patients sustained only minor injuries, namely bumps and bruises, which did not warrant the dispatch of an MCI Team. No patient were transported by the team due to refusal for transport by the patients.
