Incident No.
Date: 5th December 2007
Time: 0805
Type: RTC – person trapped
Address: A146, Barnby
Initial Attendance: Normanhurst 05 and 01, Beccles 01
I was literally putting my key in the door after being over at the station to book some leave when my alerter kicks off.
As usual, I was first in and put my tally up as driver of Normanshurst 01. Of course, at this time of the morning traffic through Oulton Broad and out towards Beccles is pretty heavy, in both directions.
It was single vehicle RTC situated at the start of the Barnby Bends. I acted as control point sending informative messages to Control from ADO Tiffen (Tiff).
Roof off, spine board in and the male driver was extricated and conveyed to hospital by ambulance.
We cleared our gear and moved the car further off the road and time to head off home. We decided to carry on towards Beccles and cut back around the country lanes – interesting. Every Tom, Dick and Harry met Sally had thought the same. It was a bit of a squeeze in places but nice to get a breath of fresh air!
Actually got my key in the door at around 0930 – around an hour and half after the first attempt!
