YARMOUTH - At 8:44 a.m., Wednesday morning, a 911 call of a car crash was received at the Yarmouth Fire Department. At that time it was believed a school bus was involved.

At 8:50 a.m., the first unit was on the scene and reported that a school bus was not involved, but that there was a two-vehicle crash with entrapment. A tone was struck for a full department recall for equipment  and manpower.  Engines 43, 45, Ambulances 54, 55, 56 and cars 51 and 58 responded.

The three people in one of the vehicles, a mother, daughter and granddaughter, were transported to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries.  The two people in the other vehicle refused treatment and transport stating they were not injured.

The Jaws of Life and Hurst cutters as well as a battery operated Saws All were used to remove the roof and open the doors freeing the people inside.
