Multiple cars, an SUV and a sedan were involved in a car accident early on the morning of February 2, 2009.  Both cars had entrapments, and 1 person was ejected from one of the vehicles.  An investigation is still pending as to whether the ejected occupant wasn't wearing a seat belt, or whether the safety equipment in the motor-vehicle failed to function as a result of a product defect.

Both the SUV and the sedan required the extraction of one occupant due to the damage done to both of the vehicles.  Paramedic emergency response ambulances and fire companies were both called and summoned to this multi-motor-vehicle accident.  All of the car accident victims were triaged upon the arrival of the paramedics.

A total of 63 firefighters were required for this multi-vehicle accident in which there were seven (7) patients, four (4) males and three (3) females.  Of these seven patients, four (4) of them were listed in critical to very critical condition.  While there is no general indication of the injuries suffered, the critical to very critical occupants most likely suffer some form of brain trauma or brain injuries, severe bleeding, broken bones, and may or may not have lost consciousness.  The remaining occupants who were injured suffered moderal injuries and minor injuries.  The driver of the sedan, 30, was later pronounced dead at the hospital. 

Survivors of the multi-car accident has been attributed to the use of safety equipment such as seat belts and air bag deployment.
