MVA with Entrapment – Woodlands – Video

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on July 2, 2010, emergency personnel responded to a one vehicle MVA on Kuykendahl Road just north of Lake Woodlands Drive.

A Chevrolet truck, traveling northbound, lost control and collided with a tree.  The driver, a teen-aged male, became entrapped in the vehicle due to the force of the impact.

Rescue crews from The Woodlands Fire Department worked for approximately 40 minutes to free the driver.  Firefighters cut off the roof and removed one door during extrication.

It appears the driver suffered substantial damage to at least one lower extremity.  He was transported by ground to Hermann Memorial, The Woodlands.

A DPS trooper said the driver was wearing his seatbelt and alcohol did not appear to be a factor.  The road was wet and it was raining at the time of the incident.
