Peoria Firefighters/Paramedics were called to an accident in the 9900 block of N. Knoxville about 4:15 Wednesday afternoon.
One person was trapped inside one of three vehicles that were involved.
Firefighters had to remove the passenger side doors with rescue spreaders and cutters to extricate the passenger. Due to the fast response and quick actions taken by fire crews on the scene, the patient was removed from the vehicle in less than 15 minutes.
Two people from the same vehicle were taken to OSF St. Francis Medical Center with injuries. Their conditions were not available.
The scene was turned over to Peoria Police until all vehicle could be removed.
