Station 36 and MICU 25-1 were dispatched to the area of Rte. 82 NB at E. Doe Run Rd. for a reported one vehicle crash into a pole. Units arrived to find a SUV had lost control and hit the traffic circle making the vehicle become airborne over the traffic circle and striking a utility pole on the other side of the circle. The lone occupant of the vehicle was able to get out of the vehicle and was evaluated on the scene of the crash by MICU 25-1 crew. One patient refused any medical services and all units cleared the scene after PSP towed the vehicle. Units remained on scene for debris removal and scene lighting for PSP.
