The Maryland State Police helicopter was requested for the patient and was landed on north bound 235. The landing zone was covered by Engine's 93 and Engine 33. Squad 7 assisted Squad 3's crew. The patient was removed from the vehicle at 02:44 hours and went straight into the awaiting ambulance to be evaluated further by ems and taken to the landing sight just down the street in front of the Toyota dealership. MSP Trooper 6 arrived at this time as well. Trooper 6 took off at 03:16 hours to an area trauma center.
