It was a busy morning for St. John’s Regional firefighters Friday as they responded to three separate rollovers in the capital city.
In the first crash, one person was sent to hospital following a three-vehicle collision in St. John’s that left a work van on its roof.
The crash happened at about 9:50 a.m. at the intersection of Empire Avenue and Stamp’s Lane when a van was apparently struck on the side by a SUV.
The van then overturned and struck a City of St. John’s van stopped at the red light.
The first two vehicles sustained extensive damage while the third was moderately damaged.
The injuries were not considered life-threatening.
In a second rollover, two people were sent to hospital following a single-vehicle rollover on a Trans-Canada Highway offramp.
The crash happened just before 11:30 a.m. in the eastbound lane at the Portugal Cove Road interchange when a car went off the road into a ditch and overturned.
St. John’s Regional firefighters tended to the injured occupants until NL Health paramedics arrived on scene.
The injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
And in a third incident, one person was sent to hospital following a single-vehicle rollover on the Trans-Canada Highway.
The crash happened around noon in the eastbound lane at the Thorburn Road interchange when a car went off the highway into a ditch and overturned.
St. John’s Regional firefighters removed the injured occupant and placed them on a backboard until an ambulance arrived.
The injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
