Rescue 82, BLS 805 and ALS 46 were dispatched to the intersection of Chews Landing Road and Somerdale Road for a reported MVA with entrapment.  Arriving on location, 8201 reported a single vehicle on its side with three occupants still trapped.  ALS 46 responding from Station 82, had already started triage of the patients, and requested an additional ALS unit.  BLS 805 assumed EMS Command and requested an additional three BLS units.
 
Rescue 82 arrived on location as was assigned extrication.  Engine 821 arrived shortly afterward and was assigned fire suppression.  Rescue 84 was added to the assignment due to the number of injuries and to assist with vehicle stabilization.

 
  All patients were removed by the 30 minute progress report and transported by ground to the local Trauma Center.  The scene was turned over to Gloucester Township Police for completion of the accident investigation.
