GAINESVILLE, Fla. – One person was ejected from a vehicle yesterday and transported to the hospital as a trauma alert after a crash between a car and a U-Haul truck.
At about 5 p.m. on December 2, Gainesville Fire Rescue (GFR) units responded to a crash between a passenger car and a U-Haul truck in the 11900 block of NW CR 231; the caller said one person was ejected from a vehicle and there was a fuel leak. Alachua County Fire Rescue units also responded and worked alongside GFR units to provide medical care to the ejected patient, who was transported as a trauma alert.
A GFR unit applied a temporary patch to the leaking fuel tank, and a GFR Hazmat unit conducted a remote pump-off, removing 30 gallons of fuel from the compromised pump and preventing the fuel from leaking into the ground.
