On Thursday June 16, 2005 shortly after 1400 hours the Huntingtown Volunteers, Ambulance 47 (Prince Frederick RS) and Engine 151 (Navy Base) were alerted for the serious auto accident with entrapment at Route 4 and Cox Road. Squad 6 (F/F Bowen, D), Engine 62 (Chief 6A; Riffe), Ambulance 68 (Chief 6B; Hayes), and Ambulance 69 (EMS Lt Nutwell, J) arrived to find a two-vehicle T-bone collision with one patient trapped in the passenger compartment. The crew from Squad 6 and Engine 62 went to work extricating the patient by removing both passenger side doors and the "B" post. The patient was extricated in a matter of minutes and loaded into Ambulance 68 for transport to the Landing Zone handled by Engine 151. The driver was transported to Calvert Memorial by Ambulance 69. Command (Chief 6A) was terminated 45 minutes later.
