Thanks for documenting this horrible accident and making this tragic story available on-line. I'm a close friend of Jamie Partridge's mother and only learned of it from a hurried phone message while she was in the hospital at the young people's sides (or as close as she could get). Her brief description was vivid--but your photos filled in the few gaps our later less hurried conversation didn't complete. I fear everyone involved has a lot of healing ahead of them, physical and otherwise.
All of the victims were attended to at the same time with 5 medic units and 1 bls unit. Some of the victims in the expedition had to be cut out of the vehicle with multiple obstructions so it took a little more time. All patients were taken to the hospital as soon as they were removed from the wreck.
As the uncle of one of the passengers in the Ford Expedition, I want to thank you for these photo's. The accident occurred far from our Long Island home and your photo's gave my family a glimse of the severity of this accident.
Which car was cleared of passengers first? It does not look like the driver of the car that flipped over the median and the passenger behind him in the same car were removed in this shot.
