Today, September 7, Pageland Rescue Squad, Pageland Fire Department, and Lifeguard EMS were dispatched to E. Maynard Street for a reported golf cart accident with entrapment.
Pageland Engine 2 arrived on scene and found a golf cart that had accidentally flipped into a 6’ foot ravine, with an elderly male trapped underneath. Crews immediately made their way into the ravine to begin patient care.
Upon arrival, Pageland Rescue 1 deployed battery powered extrication spreaders along with the Rescue 1 winch and cribbing to safely lift the golf cart off the patient. The patient was then carefully packaged onto a spine board, secured in a Stokes basket, and carried from the ravine by multiple responders. Once removed, he was transferred to a waiting Lifeguard EMS ambulance for treatment and transport. The patient was transported in stable condition.
This incident is a great example of the teamwork, communication, and coordination required to achieve a successful outcome in a challenging rescue. We extend our sincere appreciation to all responding agencies for their professionalism and commitment to serving our community.
