Last night in Tustin, fire crews faced a challenging situation, using the jaws of life to extricate a patient trapped in their car after a collision with a tree, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.

Despite the extreme vehicle damage, the skilled OCFA team executed a swift rescue, ensuring the victim’s prompt extraction.

The OCFA firefighter and paramedics then provided rapid treatment and transportation to a local trauma center for crucial medical attention.

The name and current condition of the victim were not released by the OCFA. It is also unknown if the Tustin Police Department is investigating the cause of the collision.
