Rescue Alarm 8-2. At about 0400hrs., Carroll County EOC dispatched Station 8 for a vehicle collision involving a tractor-trailer with roll-over and entrapment at the intersection of Middleburg Road and Union Bridge Road. Paramedic 89 was first to arrive and confirmed the rescue with entrapment.
Rescue Squad 8 arrived and Lt. Steve Keeney established the initial "Middleburg Road Command". As other units arrived, it was determined that the driver was conscious and alert with a foot stuck in the wreckage. As the crew from Rescue Squad 8 began setting up for the rescue, the driver was able to free himself and began to climb out of the cab. A ladder was provided for the driver to climb down off of the side of the truck and the patient walked to the ambulance for evaluation.
After a consult with a medical facility, the driver was transported to Carroll Hospital Center, Priority 3, with non-life threatening injuries.
Units cleared the scene within 30 minutes as the Carroll County Sheriff's Office took over the scene. Traffic in the area was effected for most of the morning while the truck was removed from the scene.
