At 1105 hours Station 7, Rescue Squad 1, EMS Station 79, EMS Station 19, and St. Mary's ALS were dispatched to Three Notch Road and Jones Wharf Road in Hollywood for a Motor Vehicle Accident with possible one person trapped. Rescue Squad 7, Engine 73, and Chief 7 responded on the incident and arrived within minutes.

Chief 7 was first to arrive finding two vehicles in the intersection with one occupant unconscious and trapped. Rescue Squad 7 arrived next and went to work stabilizing the vehicle and deploying the HURST Rescue Tools to begin the extrication. While the crew was extricating the trapped occupant Command requested a Medevac for a Priority 2 Category "B" patient. The patient was extricated and turned over to EMS on the scene. Engine 73 established the Landing Zone for Trooper 7 at the accident scene and Rescue Squad 1 assisted with traffic control on the opposite side of the road.

Trooper 7 transported one patient to PG Trauma and the second patient was transported to Medstar St. Mary's for evaluation. Chief 7 held the Command and all units returned to quarters at 1147 hours.

Units: Rescue Squad 7, Rescue Squad 1, Engine 73, Ambulance 799, Ambulance 387, and Chief 7
