Los Angeles County Firefighters responded to a vehicle accident on the South Bound 14 Freeway just South of Ave L this morning at approximately 7:30 am in the Antelope Valley. Upon arrival firefighters found a large big rig and a passenger vehicle had collided and careened off the freeway onto a steep embankment. The driver was found entrapped inside the passenger vehicle. Additional truck companies were summoned to assist with the extrication as firefighters used hydraulic spreaders and cutters to free the victim from the wreckage. The extrication took approximately 20 minutes to free the driver who was in critical condition.
