A Look Inside The Maryland State Police Crash Team

Police are typically involved in the aftermath of a vehicle collision, though for some, the involvement can last for years.

When it's a serious enough crash, members of the Maryland State Police Crash Team are usually on the scene.

The crash team, part of the state police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, is a unit of eight members who are assigned to various barracks around the state.

In 2011, the crash team responded to 99 statewide incidents. Of those incidents, 61 were fatal crashes and 27 were personal injury crashes. Eleven of the incidents were not crash related.

In Carroll, the crash team responded to three fatal crashes and three personal injury crashes in 2011.
