Shirley, NY – On May 16th at 1:50 P.M., the Mastic Beach Fire Department and Ambulance Company were activated for an MVA on Beacon Street, between Amarr Drive and The Green.
Assistant Chiefs Fred Loiacono and Jeff McGown arrived on scene to find a crash involving three vehicles, one of which was still in the middle of the roadway and blocking traffic. Rescue Truck 5-13-4 was requested to come into the scene and bring speedy dry as well as the Go Jacks so that they could move the vehicle out of the roadway.
On arrival members of Rescue 4 immediately began to clean up the debris and fluids from the ground and secure all three vehicles. Mastic Beach Ambulance was on scene and at least one person was taken to Long Island Community Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The road was closed by SCPD and Mastic Beach FD Fire Police while firefighters and EMS operated. Once the vehicles were towed away the road was immediately reopened.
