About 8:30 Wednesday night July 16, Pikesville VFC Squad 322 responded with BCoFD Engine 2, and BCoFD Engine & Medic 14 and EMS 5 for a reported pedestrian struck on Interstate 695 between exits 20 & 21 (Box 32-61) in Baltimore County, Maryland. Squad 322, traveling on the inner loop to access the scene, located the incident on the opposite side of the highway, advised Engine 2, and continued to Greenspring Avenue to turn around. Engine 2 and EMS 5 stopped on the inner loop and crossed the divider to initiate patient triage and care, while Engine 14 blocked lanes behind the incident to protect emergency crews. Upon the Squad’s arrival they also blocked lanes and the crew assisted with patient care. The patient, who had apparently tried to cross the travel lanes from the right shoulder seeking assistance after her vehicle became disabled, was transported via Medic 14 w/traumatic injuries to Baltimore’s Shock Trauma Center.
