On December 20, 2020 at 1846 hours, The Deptford Fire Department along with the Westville Fire Department and Woolwich Fire Company were dispatched to the New Jersey Turnpike at the 20.4 mile marker southbound for a motor vehicle crash with reported entrapment. Chief 9201(Thomas) arrived on location to find a single vehicle off the roadway in a very muddy ditch. The driver of the vehicle has self extricated and was reporting her passenger was injured. On accessing the vehicle, the passenger was not entrapped but due to her injury and the muddy terrain, she was unable to exit the vehicle. Crews from Squad 921 and Rescue 738 packaged this passenger and got her up the embankment and transferred to awaiting EMS in a short amount of time.
