HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Two people injured in a car crash this weekend were rescued with the help of multiple emergency agencies.

Saturday night, the Wolfe County Search and Rescue Team (WCSART) helped Menifee County EMS and Menifee County Fire Protection District with an incident on Highway 715 at Pumpkin Bottom.

Officials say they drove over the embankment and were stuck in a truck.

The jaws of life were used by the fire department to free the driver and passenger.

Menifee EMS and a first responder from the WCSART treated a woman for injuries while she was still in the vehicle.

The cause of the crash has not been determined.

Their current condition is unknown.
