Vehicle Accident and Gas Leak

Responded to a vehicle accident around lunchtime. A truck hopped the curb, clipped a gas line, and hit a traffic light pole. The driver had already been taken out when we got there, and we (from squad) assisted EMS in getting the passenger out and transported. We (4-5 of us) pulled the pax door open (it had been damaged by the impact, but not so much that we couldn't wrestle it open) to give EMS access to the passenger, and used cribbing to stabilize the vehicle.

Others (from engine 2) kept water on the gas leak until the gas company could get there and shut it off. (There were posts in front of the gas pipe, but the vehicle traveled behind the posts and caught the pipe anyway.) Then we rolled up 400ft of 5" and 200-300 ft of handline, (which was the tiring part of it all), and watched the tow truck remove the vehicle.
