Rescue 61 responded and enroute was advised by Baltimore County Engine 60 (Parkton) one person is trapped and room was made to get Rescue 61 into the scene.
On arrival personnel stabilized the vehicle and spoke with providers already on location on the extent of entrapment. A female patient was pinned in the wreckage and EMS personnel were determining her injuries. Rescue 61 members began disentanglement and was assisted by members from Eureka Volunteer Fire Co. when they arrived. A organized effort in removing the roof, doors and support posts resulted in a successful removal of the patient.
