Blackanthem Military News DIYALA, Iraq - Soldiers of 18th Engineer Company, Task Force 296, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division assisted in the rescue of a local man who became trapped in the truck he was riding in after being involved in a collision west of Jalula in Diyala province.
While conducting a convoy, the Soldiers noticed multiple Iraqi Police vehicles near a truck that looked to be damaged.
A medic in the convoy was dispatched to the victim to provide a medical assessment and aid. It was then determined that the victim was pinned into the vehicle at the waist by the cab of the truck.
Using a Stryker vehicle and tow strap, the Soldiers were able to separate the cab far enough to free the victim.
After the victim was freed, the Iraqi Police and locals thanked the Soldiers for their assistance.
"This is a great example of the cooperation being seen around Diyala province," said 2nd Lt. Jennifer Palmeri, the spokeswoman for 3/2 SBCT. "Though U.S. Forces were not contacted to go to the scene for help, they saw a situation in which they could be of aid, and they worked with the Iraqi Police at the scene to get the incident resolved quickly and safely."
