Will it ever end?!? A driver was pinned after being hit in the drivers door in another serious day-time accident. It took crews from Rescue 141 and 441 20 minutes to extricate this man, who was taken to RGH. His injuries did not appear life threatening. As with most day-time calls, everybody got to do something!
