RTA Again (part 2, the pictures)

The interior of the van. Look over to the vehicle comdr side. ITs the dashboard that pinned the casualty's leg. See how tight is the space? The Windscreen is shattered too.



Damaged picture of the van after the casualty has been evacuated. SCDF officers are still around.


Rescue in process. SCDF personnal using mechanical tools to release the casualty. The others are stablisating the casualty.



This is taken minutes before the casualty is being freed. I was stepping on the front of the van and the railings when accessing the casualty's condition, just like what the SCDF ppl are doing and when i helped the AO (ambulance Officer) to put the oxygen mask on the casualty's face.

I was feeling so helpless before the SCDF people come. All i could do was to keep calming and reassuring the casualty, and the dressing to his cuts on the head. I cannot freed him, i could not evacuate him. What happen IF the casualty has no pulse and no breathing? How am i suppose to give CPR to him when he is trapped?

Heard from one of my friends at RT that there's another RTA at bukit timah, and there's a P0 case (P zero). I dunno if that's true or not, but its sad when you see another life being wasted due to one's careless or reckless error.
