Police patrols, paramedics, and fire department personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, officers encountered the male driver of a white Hyundai Atos, who was complaining of chest pain. Paramedics promptly attended to him.
After concerted efforts by the emergency responders, the female passenger, who was trapped in the back seat, was successfully extricated. She complained of pain in her back and neck. Both victims received medical assistance on-site before being transported to the Sint Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) for further treatment.
