Sounds like the area is significantly impacted with day users and vehicles blocking access to responding resources.

Air Rescue 5 on scene for medical. SUP 2 states they are attempting to get a count of victims, still unknown how many. Sounds like major access issues due to day users. Update: sounds like only 2 victims now. Minor scratches.
