Upon arrival, crews found a single vehicle that had left the roadway and struck a tree, causing significant damage and trapping the occupant inside. Firefighters worked alongside Anne Arundel County Fire Department personnel to stabilize the vehicle, perform a complex extrication, and assist EMS crews in providing patient care.
Due to the severity of the incident, Maryland State Police’s GO Team was initially requested to respond. As the incident progressed, the request was later canceled. The patient was ultimately transported by helicopter to a local trauma center for definitive care.
Incidents like these highlight the importance of a strong mutual aid system. When neighboring jurisdictions call for assistance, departments work seamlessly together to provide the resources and personnel needed during critical emergencies.
We appreciate the outstanding teamwork displayed by all responding agencies and wish the patient the very best in their recovery.
