On July 10, 2005 at 2:33 PM units from Hughesville Fire and EMS and Waldorf EMS were alerted to Bryantown Road just off of Leonardtown Road for an auto accident with injuries. Squad 2 and Paramedic Ambulance 27 arrived to find a single vehicle accident with one victim. The vehicle struck a bridge barrier and the driver was trapped in the vehicle.

Squad 2 established the command, requested a helicopter and began the extrication. The squad crew removed both driver’s side doors and the roof and rolled the dash forward off of the victim, to remove him from the car. Tanker 2 and Waldorf Engine 33 set up the landing site for Maryland State Police Trooper 7 in a nearby soccer field. Lieutenant Mercure was the incident command and units cleared at 3:42 PM.
