New Year's Eve Wreck in Berlin











Just a little while ago, MSP were chasing one of these vehicles. These 2 cars (White Expedition v/s silver BMW) wrecked at Rt. 50 & Seahawk Rd. in Berlin. MSP found a loaded handgun in the BMW. There is 1 feared dead so far. The medic helicopter landed behind Stephen Decatur Middle School, but left without a patient. The vehicles are still there for reconstruction, so it's advised to try alternate routes. More details to come...

Here we go, another death before midnight, such a rotten shame.

Sunny, Trooper 4 transported a patient to PRMC from the high school. My question is why did it take over an hour to get the patient to the hospital by helicopter when it is only 20 minutes by ground? The patient from the helicopter arrived at PRMC at 9:23 pm.

It was the Berlin Police that chased the vehicle. MSP handled the accident investigation.

The patient required extrication from the vehicle which will delay the Trooper 4.

Listening to the scanner they said they were going to land the helicopter at the Salvation Army. They also said there was no paitent on the helicopter so I'm confused. I guess the winds were to strong to land on top of PRMC?

The BMW still has temp tags. Probably some little gangster wannabe driving it. If they killed someone then they deserve death before the firing squad.

That guy from Allen FD must have been hired by Berlin FD and requested another medavac

How long did the extracation take? Trooper 4 from the hanger would have taken 20 minutes? Im not Monday morning quarterbacking just curious.

Helicopter? In THAT WIND?
I'd rather be in ground transport.
Things were blowing around from county to county.

LMAO

The volunteer Farmin actually requested 2 helicopters and waited til the one go to scene and cancelled it a second time. This medivac was Trooper 6 with an ETA of 25 minutes. I guess the volunteer Farmin didn't take the mandatory protocol class from MIEMSS concerning the Medivacs. Worcester County needs some oversight when regulating who has authority on the emergency scenes. How many people have to die before the County Council gets their act together.

Not one helicopter but two helicopters. And then they had the audacity to cancel the one that traveled the farthest.

Can someone tell us who the cowboy from Berlin FD pretending to be a commanding officer was?

Hello! Why didn't this person stop when the Officers were trying to stop them? Good question and now I am sure they are asking themselves the same thing. It is stupid not to stop and risk a ticket or arrest then to kill yourself or another person. Yes sorry to the families but not the creep who made the poor choice.

And nobody was dead.

5 of the Salisbury based crew members have extensive experience in the Coast Guard and I know at least one spent most of his service flying in Alaska. Wind can be a factor but,these folks are "rescue" professionals!

I will bet a dollar to a donut you were in the fast lane as well. The fast lane is for passing and you obviously weren't allowing anyone to pass. It doesn't matter if you were doing 65 or 75, just move over. Slower traffic needs to stay in the right lane and allow others the right to pass.

I can't believe how some of you are giving the fire department such a hard time! It's like the police you only like them when you need them. Shame on you. Regardless of what some of you may think MARYLAND fire fighter, Emt's and medics ALL recieve the same training. How do you have any grounds to say anything when you don't know what happened you were not there. Everyone lived out of that crash and are do to recover with no long terms medical problems. That should be what important not picking apart the firefighters/medics that VOLUNTEER their time to save lives! Yes Berlin has paid medics but all the other firefighters that showed up were volunteers there to help and do the best they can! Maybe you should take that into condsideration before you pick them apart. Or maybe if you ever come to Worcester county do get sick or injured because guess who will be coming to your rescue....
