During the incident, one person became trapped inside their vehicle, requiring a coordinated effort from firefighters and paramedics to secure their release. Firefighters first stabilised the vehicle to ensure the safety of all involved. Using specialised hydraulic rescue equipment, such as the Jaws of Life, hydraulic spreaders, rams, cutting tools, and vehicle stabilisation blocks, they successfully removed the roof of the vehicle to create space for paramedics to treat the casualty.
