Tuesday March 8, 2005
At 1226 Hours Chester County communications alerted Kimberton Fire (61) & West End Ambulance (67) for an accident at School House Lane & Hollow Roads in West Vincent Township. Road conditions were very poor, as it snowed and roadways were snow covered & icy.
The van carrying two occupants slid through a fence and over the embankment, landing on it’s side & bounced off a home. The vehicle then knocked over a propane bottle attached to the home causing a propane leak. The two in the van managed to climb over debris and squeeze out a side window.
Firefighters shut off the propane and disconnected the bottle from the home in addition to assisting the tow truck company in an extensive vehicle removal.
