Just before 6:00 AM this morning Sykesville Fire and EMS units responded to Liberty Road in front of the PNC Bank for a report vehicle overturned with entrapment. Units arrived on the scene and found a vehicle that had left the roadway and struck several poles before coming to a rest overturned down an embankment.

Crews found two patients one which was in trauma arrest lying on the ground in critical condition and one patient trapped in the vehicle.

Command requested aviation to the scene to fly the patients to shock trauma.

The crew from Rescue Squad 12 went to work stabilizing the vehicle and then using hydraulic tools to make access to the patient. Once the door was removed it was found that the legs of the patient were still trapped and required further extrication.

EMS crews from Sykesville and Winfield started patient care on the two patients that had been ejected from the vehicle.

One patient that was transported to a local hospital was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital and the two other patients were transported to Shock Trauma in Baltimore.

Sykesville Fire crews remained on the scene for several hours while the Maryland State Police conducted an investigation into the accident.

After the investigation was complete crews assisted with cleaning up the large debris field that was left in the PNC Bank parking lot.
