On Saturday May 12, 2007 at 2152 hours, the Huntingtown Volunteers and surrounding EMS units were alerted for the serious auto accident involving a motorcyle and passenger vehicle at Dalrymple Road and Hardesty Road. Two Huntingtown crews were already on the street operating on a full arrest in the 609 box. With those two crews out, three more crews answered up bringing: Chief 6B (Montgomery), Squad 6 (Lt Thrasher), Engine 62 (S/O Collins), and Ambulance 69 (Rountree, RJ). Units arrived to find a head-on accident involving the motorcycle and vehicle with bystanders performing CPR on the motorcyclist. Due to the injuries incompatible with life, EMS crews pronounced the subject on the scene. The rescue assignment was quickly held to Huntingtown units only. At 2224 hours, Chief 6B terminated the command.
