The driver of a Nissan Sentra found trapped inside the vehicle was rescued by the Long Beach Fire Department after a car crash at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and E. Pine Street on Oct. 8.

At 8:55 a.m., the fire department received a report of a motor vehicle collision requiring extrication, officials posted on Facebook.

Members of Engine 2343 used what is called the “Jaws of Life” tool to pop the man’s side door gaining access to the driver. The tools are usually hydraulic cutters, rams and spreaders used to free people from vehicles.

He was taken to Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside. As of press time, the man was reported in stable condition.

All operations were under the Command of Assistant Fire Chief Hadrick Ray.

The Four Types of Attorneys (And Why Knowing Yours Changes Everything)

Picture this: It's 11 PM the night before trial. Are you buried in research? Reviewing strategic contingencies? Getting rest to stay sharp? Or perfecting your opening story? It’s certainly no secret that attorneys approach their work differently, but these differences have rarely been described systematically. Steno has developed the Attorney Work Styles framework to help attorneys understand how they naturally process information, respond to pressure and execute their work. The result is better individual performance and smoother collaboration.

Trust the Innovator Not the Imitator: Why Nassau County Homeowners Should Choose Maidenbaum

Nassau County homeowners are bracing for rising taxes and unexpected expenses that always seem to pile up. Luckily, they can authorize Maidenbaum to file their property tax grievance for the 2027/28 tax year. Acting early makes all the difference, because waiting too long could mean missing opportunities, or worse, ending up with a company that doesn’t have the experience to represent you properly. Don’t let misleading promises impact your results – if something seems too good to be true, it usually is!
