This was on the way to moutain creek, we couldn't stop as they were directing the flow of traffic. So I shot all of these from within a moving vehicle. Looks like the person survived or else there wouldn't be a need for the helicopter. I tlanded on the high way, but we were too far back to see it. When it left, then we were able to move towards the wreck. I was able to fire these off as we drove by.

    The fact it required an Air-Vac indicates just how serious it may have been.

    Also, the possibility of survival. But I can't imagine much being saved from a Jeep that obviously flipped over a few times with no roof. Did anyone hear about this on the news?

    Jeep Wranglers have integrated rollbars in place even with the top down. Should have been ok, as long as they had seat belts on.

    I like the 4th photo. The PP is good. I appreciate the difficulty of shooting from the car, but it would be good to see the windscreen wiper cropped out, as well as the guy on the right maybe. The expression on the fire fighters face is the focal point for me. Good job
    C&C always welcomed.

    Cheers

    Hopefully all involved will be okay in the long run.
    3&4 worked best for me as capturing a moment.

    looks like that fireman ran out of the station as fast as he could (he's wearing shorts!!) Great pictures - sad situation - I hope everyone was ok.
