Units from the Huntingtown VFD arrived on location of a 3-vehicle rear-end collision with one patient unconscious with severe head trauma. Squad 6 stabilized & secured the vehicle while Engine 62 stood fast with a charged attack line due to a fuel leak. Crews removed the patient from the vehicle and rapidly transported priority 1 to Calvert Memorial Hospital where a helicopter was awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. The patient was immediately flown to a local trauma center. One additional patient was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
