PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A driver trapped inside his car was rescued by fire crews after officials said the car crashed and flipped over on its side near Woodland Friday evening.
Just after 8:30 p.m., Clark-Cowlitz Fire & Rescue crews responded to a crash alert on Northeast 21st Avenue outside of Woodland.
Arriving at the scene, officials said they found a car flipped on its side with a telephone pole and multiple power lines on the car.
Clark-Cowlitz PUD was then called, as fire crews could not reach the driver until the power was cut off.
Once PUD responded and shut of the power, crews extricated the driver and he was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
While the driver’s current condition has not been released at this time, officials said his wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash protected him from more serious injuries.
