This morning CS firefighters responded to a vehicle that veered off the 101 and rolled down an embankment and landed next to the railroad tracks in Summerland. Firefighters quickly assessed and carried patients up the embankment with the use of a rope system. 2 of the 4 patients were transported to the hospital with moderate injuries. @montecitofire @amrsantabarbara assisted crews on scene. #rollover #prideinservice
