PVES members were alerted to a severe pedestrian vehicle accident involving a heavy motor vehicle and a pedestrian.
EST members were already on scene and had arranged for GPG EMS to respond. PVES members proceeded to assist.
Upon arrival, the patient was found with significant injuries to both legs. EST members had already flushed and covered the open wounds.
Due to the severity of the injuries, Advanced Life Support (ALS) was required. PVES members assisted with the patient’s stabilisation while awaiting the arrival of GPG EMS.
When GPG arrived, PVES members assisted with obtaining the patient’s vital signs and safely loading the patient into the ambulance. GPG ALS subsequently arrived, and the patient was transported to hospital for further treatment.
