Updated at 9:55 AM.
MANSFIELD, PA – Late Thursday evening, March 30, 2023, fire and EMS crews from Mansfield Hose Company and Big Elm Fire Department responded to a reported two vehicle head-on crash around 11:30 PM in Rutland Township.
The accident was reported in the area of 3493 Route 549 near the Jenkins Road intersection. Mansfield fire personnel arrived at the accident scene by 11:32 PM and confirmed that this was a head-on crash where the vehicles came to rest along the shoulder of the roadway. While fire personnel were checking for victims other units from both departments started arriving on scene.
Only one driver was found in one of the vehicles, the other driver had apparently already left the scene either by foot or was picked up prior to fire crews arrival. The driver that was left behind was confirmed trapped and injured inside his vehicle.
A request for Pennsylvania State Police to expedite to the scene was made by Mansfield Command, since one of the driver’s had fled the scene in an unknown manner.
A medical helicopter was requested due to the injuries the trapped driver had suffered. LifeNet 7-7 medical helicopter was sent out to the area.
By 11:46 PM that section of Route 549 was being closed down by a Mansfield fire crew as other firefighters prepared to extricate the male driver from the crushed vehicle.
The injured driver was extricated from their vehicle by 11:55 PM and placed in the Mansfield ambulance.
It was confirmed just past midnight that Route 549 was closed between the intersection of the Jenkins Road all the way down into Roseville at the Pumpkin Hill Road Intersection.
A landing zone was set up for LifeNet 7-7 in a nearby field close to the accident scene. The ambulance transported the patient to the landing zone where EMS members treated the patient and waited for the arrival of the medical helicopter. LifeNet 7-7 landed around 12:20 AM and was airborne to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA., by 12:42 AM.

This is some drone footage of yesterdays’s structure fire in Ridgway. A special thank you to videographer Michael McClain for giving us permission to share. This video gives some insight into what is is like to roll in on a working structure fire….chief’s assessment, equipment placement, mutual aid and so forth. Yesterday Elk Company 1 (St. Marys) was automatically on the box as Ridgway’s engine 44 is out of service and being refurbished. Not long after arriving on scene the Incident command requested an engine from Elk Company 2 (Johnsonburg), and then their air unit. Elk Company 3 (Fox Township)was dispatched to Ridgway for stand by. As you watch the video look at how the smoke changes color, and what happens when fire breaks through another part of the building. Video’s like this are a big help for a department doing a critique on an alarm. Thanks again Mike.
