The hydraulic rescue tool called the “jaws of life,” was used by the Long Beach Fire Departmen to rescue one of the two people involved in a two-car crash at the intersection of Fulton Avenue and Park Street in Atlantic Beach on May 27.
The person was pinned against a broken utility pole after the accident that occurred just before 9 p.m. One of the car’s doors was severely crimpled against the pole. That motorist was taken to the hospital. The other driver was assessed at the scene, police said.
