Rescue Alarm 8-2. At 04:01 hrs on Monday morning, Station 8 units were dispatched for a "Tractor Trailer Roll-Over with Entrapment" on Middleburg Road near Union Bridge Road. As Ambulance 89 responded, Paramedic 58 was added to provide an ALS response. Captain C. Harris arrived to find a fully loaded tractor trailer, hauling cement, on it's side at the intersection of Middleburg and Union Bridge Roads.

After conferring with a Carroll County Sheriffs Deputy and quickly assessing the patient, he confirmed that the patient was conscious, but was trapped within the cab of the truck and no other hazards appeared to be present. As Chief 8, Ambulance 89 and Rescue Squad 8 arrived, "Middleburg Road Command" was established with Captain 8 in command and crews began to stabilize the tractor portion.

After a quick stabilization was completed, the crew from Rescue Squad 8 began removing the roof from the truck. Engine 81 was also on location and provided a fire attack line for fire protection (A normal procedure during auto extrication). Within minutes, the driver was extricated from the truck.

The patient was packaged and loaded into Paramedic 58, then transported Priority 3 to Sinai Hospital in north Baltimore, with non-life threatening injuries.

Units cleared the scene within 45 minutes. None of the trailers contents were lost and no other hazards were found. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office remained on the scene for the vehicle collision investigation and removal of the tractor trailer.
