Five people, four adults and one child, were sent to Kingman Regional Medical Center for suspected critical injuries following a two-car head-on collision in the northbound lanes of Hwy-93 at approximately Mile-Post 68.8. Golden Valley Fire Chief Thomas O’Donohue reported Golden Valley Firefighters and Kingman Fire Department converged on the scene of a violent two-car head-on collision Saturday evening approximately 10:00 PM. Firefighters faced a lengthy extrication and complicated extrication from both vehicles. Reports from witnesses stated the Chevrolet, the sole occupant, was southbound in the northbound lanes of Hwy-93 on Coyote Pass when it collided head-on into a Saturn containing three adults and one child. O’Donohue, who was the first fire unit on scene, took Incident Command of the accident and immediately reported the potential for multiple trauma victims and requested three additional ambulances for a total of four. Upon a quick scene survey, O’Donohue reported one person trapped and pinned in the upside down Chevrolet, and three trapped in the Saturn which had sustained heavy front end damage, pinning those in the front seat against the dashboard. The child, who was in a car seat, was rapidly removed and transported to KRMC while Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to pry the car apart to gain access the occupants of the front seat. Kingman Firefighters were assigned the driver’s side of the Saturn while Golden Valley Firefighters handled the passenger side of the Saturn to maximize results. The last patient took approximately 30-minutes to extricate was transported by the fifth ambulance to KRMC. KFD Battalion Chief Roger Dixon oversaw safety and operations during the duration of the event. In all, thirteen fire personnel from Kingman and Golden Valley responded and five ambulances with ten attendants for a total of 23 EMS and Fire personnel. Northbound lanes were restricted to one lane for an hour, and finally all traffic was diverted around Coyote Pass for another hour to protect the emergency responders and patients during the extrication process.
