Rescue Squad 61 arrived and after speaking with command personnel was placed in service. There were multiple fatalities including two trapped people. Maryland State Police reconstruction team is enroute as well as the Medical Examiner team. Rescue Squad 61 returned and Baltimore County units from Parkton and Maryland Line remained.
At 02:03am on October 26th Shrewsbury was once again alerted to respond with Rescue Squad 61 to assist with the removal of the expired patients who were still trapped in the vehicles. Police reconstruction teams have completed their work and the victims can now be removed for the Medical Examiner team to finish their portion of the investigation.
