On Saturday October 3rd around 11:20pm the WBFD was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with injuries in the 100 block of West Penn Ave in Wernersville Borough. Engine 18-2 and Rescue 18 arrived on scene with a single vehicle that had struck a pole and came to rest in the eastbound lane of Penn Ave. Crews from Rescue 18 provided patient care until EMS arrived. Additional crews from Engine 18-2 assisted with fluid mitigation and debris removal. The roadway was closed in both direction for approximately 45 minutes while crews worked to clear the scene. Once the vehicle was removed from the roadway by the tow company, the road was reopened. We were assisted by the Western Berks Ambulance Association and the South Heidelberg Township Police Department.
