First responders spent roughly 20 minutes extracting a man pinned under an older model Dodge recreational vehicle. The camper was turning left from View onto Douglas when it struck a man who was believed to be on a skateboard.
Impairment may have been a factor, Sgt. Karie Cochrane said on scene.
Crews used blocks and jacks to lift the rear passenger side while paramedics stood ready nearby. The person under the vehicle was conscious when freed just before 7 a.m. and taken to hospital with multiple injuries.
B次元官网网址淚t was quite the operation to do that because the man was quite tangled up underneath the vehicle. His body was not underneath the wheel but he was trapped underneath the axle,B次元官网网址� Cochrane said.
B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 know the extent of whether itB次元官网网址檚 life-threatening or not at this point, but they are serious injuries.B次元官网网址�
VicPD is waiting to confirm what the signal lights were at the time of the incident, but believe the driver had a green light.
B次元官网网址淏ut he still would have to yield to people in the crosswalk.B次元官网网址�
The intersection was closed to traffic for roughly four hours.
