Stinnett Road--- Huntingtown, MD, turned into a fatal incident last night just 6 days after the fatal fire that killed a young teenager.
On Tuesday November 6, 2006 at 1845 hours, the Huntingtown Volunteers were alerted to 2901 Stinnett Road for the auto accident along with Ambulance 18 (North Beach) and Engine 151 (Navy Base). Units from Huntingtown alerted were: Chief 6A (Riffe), Chief 6B (Hayes), Captain 6 (McKenny), Squad 6 (Cooper), Engine 62 (Bowman), and Ambulance 68 (Stewart). While en route, Communications received supplemental information reporting it to be serious which brought Rescue 1 and Medic 103. Less than a minute later, Chief 6A along with Engine 151 arrived on location and found a serious high-speed head-on collision with two patients trapped. Chief 6A established command while the crew from Engine 151 (Lusby) immediately went to work placing their HURST tools in service. With the crew from Engine 151 extricating the passenger, the crew from Squad 6 and Rescue 1 arrived and went to work on the driver who was pulseless and not breathing. Both front doors were removed along with the roof. The HURST rams were also utilized to free the driver's legs. Squad 2 was also called for early into the incident to assist with manpower.
Unfortunately, the driver of the car was transported to CMH by A-18 and was pronounced a short time later. The passenger was air-transported to PG Shock Trauma priority one by Eagle One. She currently is listed in serious condition. The driver of the 2nd vehicle was ground-transported by A-48 to Calvert Memorial with minor injuries. All members on hand did an excellent job in extricating the victims and rapidly transporting to the appropriate facilities. Squad 6 remained on the scene for another 90 minutes to assist with Accident Reconstruction.
