At 8:42pm on Tuesday October 5, 2021, the Ocean Pines Vol. Fire Department was alerted for a motor vehicle accident on the North Gate bridge; Worcester Central advised a single vehicle accident (three occupants) w/rollover and potentially two unaccounted for occupants. Second Assistant Chief Mather arrived on scene first and confirmed the initial report while Chief Grunewald established command. Upon further investigation, it was determined that there was only one occupant in the vehicle and they were evaluated on scene and refused further medical treatment.
The wooden structure surrounding the actual bridge suffered significant damage; however, after an inspection by Ocean Pines Public Works Department, the bridge was deemed safe. After an extensive cleanup, the scene was turned over to the Maryland State Police Department for further investigation.
