PHOTOGRAPHS
OF SEMI -TRAILER ACCIDENT AT 41 & Wadsworth on Saturday 10/27. Taken at approximately 8:30 pm?
Caution, these may be too graphic for some viewers....
This photo shows the end of the trailer roof on the right. You are looking at the roof of the trailer.
This picture shows some of the first downers to be pulled off. I believe one of these two horses did recover from shock and survive to get transported.
There was tremendous banging in the section you see the firefighters at but they ended up having to cut all of the roof off to get to these animals.
One of the babies being led onto the waiting trailers. At this point many shocky downed horses are being blanketed and attended to.
The final roof section was cut away so the next batch could be pulled out. I believe some of these were downers and some were led out. One horse you can not see on the far right was down with a right front twisted through a hole under the trailer. It took cutters, five of us to hold him from struggling and eventually airbags to lift the trailer and free that hoof under the trailer. The horse was close to losing that leg but it was successfully freed. Very scary as a horse behind him was thrashing hoof distance from our heads while we worked on that leg entrapment. Great job by fire rescue on this. The noise was deafening as they were cutting and sawing the metal.
Inside the trailer from the rear. This was a double-decker pig/cattle trailer and is on its side here.
These are the horses in the top front section of the trailer and I believe were the last out . The photo was taken by sticking an arm through a roof vent.
I believe these were the 4th & 5th horse off the trailer. I do not believe the horse in plaid survived.
