Hayes) Squad 6, and Ambulance 68 were alerted to respond to Dorsey Rd and Dares Beach Road for the auto accident reported serious. Units from Company 2 arrived on the scene and found two vehicles involved with one patient trapped. The trapped patient was a student at Calvert High School and was leaving school when she was struck in the drivers side door. The crew from Squad 6 (F/F D. Cox) was cancelled and re-routed back to the station for Engine 62 and the Landing Zone. While responding to the Landing Zone they were once again cancelled and re-routed to handle a fill-in at Company 2. Ambulance 68 (Lt. Stacy Clay) handled the patient in the second vehicle which was flown to PG Shock Trauma. The female patient from the school was transported to Calvert Memorial where she unfortunately succumbed due to her injuries.
