Single vehicle into tree... one flown.

At approximately 2200, Ridge Rescue was alerted to personal injury accident with injuries in the area of Bay Forest Rd. and Cully Lane. Ambulances 497 and 498, along with engines from Ridge Fire and NESEA Fire, responded within minutes. On the scene, crews found a single vehicle into a tree with two occupants.

On access to the vehicle, a rapid patient assessment revealed that Trooper 7 would be needed to fly out one patient. Ambulance 497 transported a single patient to St. Mary's Hospital. The other patient was transported to the established landing zone by Ambulance 498 and flown by Trooper 7 to PG Shock Trauma.
