At 1:46 pm on July 1, 2009, Long Beach Fire Department dispatched units to the North bound 405 freeway at Lakewood to a report of an overturned vehicle. Once on scene, E17 crew members discovered the vehicle was not overturned but had instead driven off the side of the freeway, plowed through a chain link fence, and come to rest on Kilroy Airport Way below. Before coming to a stop, the Mercedes sedan sheared a tree at the base and collided with a similar Mercedes parked on the street. The female driver was transported to an area hospital with minor to moderate injuries. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported. A total of 15 firefighters and 2 ambulance operators responded to this incident.
