Departmental Motor Vehicle Collision Severn
Two firefighters injured in a
motor vehicle collision Thursday evening in Severn have been released from Shock Trauma. Around 7:00 p.m., the Basic Life
Support ambulance from the Harmans/Dorsey Fire Station was responding to a
medical emergency in the Severn area when it was involved in a collision with a
tractor-trailer on Route 170 (Telegraph
Road) under Route 100. The two firefighters, a 36-year old male who was the
driver and the 31-year-old male front seat passenger, were the only two
occupants of the ambulance and were both injured. Paramedics transported them to Shock Trauma with serious, non-life
threatening injuries. There were no other injuries requiring hospital transport
as a result of the collision.
The Department would like to express appreciation to several
unidentified citizens who stopped at the scene of the accident and assisted our personnel from their damaged vehicle. This group included a nurse who rendered medical
care to the two firefighters until the arrival of additional firefighters and
paramedics.
