firefighters were dispatched shortly before 4 a.m. Saturday, September 30
for a report of a vehicle accident involving a tree near 27 Club Manor Drive.
Upon arrival, they found a passenger car with heavy damage and the driver
entrapped
inside.

Members of
Engine 1-C Shift and Maumelle volunteer firefighters freed the driver from
the wreckage using hydraulic rescue tools -- commonly referred to as the
"Jaws of Life." However, the patient was pronounced dead on the
scene.

Firefighters
respond to a growing number of traffic accidents each year. In 2001, that
number was 28 for the year. In 2006, the fire department handled 73 accidents
-- including seven where occupants were trapped
inside.
