Dozens of fire fighters from both Somerville and Cambridge Fire Departments were called to the scene to rescue  occupants of a motor vehicle that was run over by a multi-ton cement truck early Tuesday morning.

The rescue was actually  a simulation accident that took place on Medford Street in Somerville behind the Holman’s Building in Somerville.

Simulations like these take place frequently so that fire fighters can prepare themselves for when the real situation might take happen.
