By Mechanicsville Volunteers
August 13, 2016

At 2317 hours, Station 7, Rescue Squad 1, Rescue Squad 2, EMS Station 79, EMS Station 19, and St. Mary's ALS were dispatched to McIntosh Road in the area of Rive Ridge Drive, Hollywood for a motor vehicle accident. Initial reports advised a person was trapped under the vehicle.

Engine 72 arrived on location to find a single vehicle overturned with a utility pole and wires down. Captain 7 established the Command. The crew from Engine 72 found one patient that was pinned under the vehicle who was alert but unable to move and a second patient who was out of the vehicle. Rescue Squad 1 and Rescue Squad 2 arrived a short time later with all three crews going to work to stabilize the vehicle. Chief 2 was assigned the "Extrication Group Supervisor" with Engine 72 and both Rescue Squads. Once the vehicle was stabilized, crews utilized the HURST E-Draulic ram and the Res-Q-Jacks to lift the vehicle off the patient. Once access was gained to the patient it was found that the patient had been impaled by a piece of the vehicle. Command request that the "Go Team" be activated due to the unknown time to complete the extrication. The crews worked to remove the vehicle away from the patient and had the patient extricated within 25 minutes of arrival. Command cancelled the "Go Team" and the patient was turned over to EMS.

Engine 73 established a landing zone for Trooper 2 and US Park Police Eagle 2 for transport. Trooper 2 transported the first patient to PG Trauma as a Priority 2 Trauma patient and Eagle 2 transported the second patient to Medstar Washington Hospital Center as a Priority 1 Trauma patient.

Command was terminated and all units cleared the scene and returned to quarters at 0040 hours.

Units: Rescue Squad 2, Chief 2
