Just before 8:30 a.m. Thursday June 26, Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company Squad 322 was alerted for a 10-50 PI rescue on Garrison Forest Road near Greenspring Valley Road (19-4 box). BCoFD Engine 19 had been alerted earlier for a reported accident with a vehicle smoking, and Medic 19 was soon added when another caller to 911 reported a person was injured. The call was then upgraded to a rescue box, and Engine 19 arrived to find a BMW convertible had struck a tree head-on, with the driver trapped. Crews from Squad 322 and BCoFD Truck 18 used Holmatro cutters to remove the car’s roof and extricate the patient. Command requested a Maryland State Police helicopter for medevac and MSP Trooper 1 landed at the Green Spring Valley Country Club golf course, with BCoFD Engine 2 handling the landing zone. The male patient was flown as a Priority 1 patient to Baltimore’s Shock Trauma Center.
