Vehicle Accident w/Fire

November 13, 2022

On Sunday November 13, 2022 at approximately 1:46am, the Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the area of Racetrack Road and Cathage Road for a vehicle fire as a result of a motor vehicle accident; dispatchers advised a vehicle was into a tree and the caller could not confirm if there were occupants due to the fire. While our paramedic and fire units were en route, a Worcester County Sheriff was first on scene and confirmed the vehicle was fully involved and located the occupant laying directly behind the vehicle. The Sheriff's deputy immediately began to drag the occupant to safety and was assisted by an Ocean Pines Police Officer once they arrived.

 
Upon arrival, paramedics immediately began assessing the injuries of the occupant while the crew of engine 1102 went to work to extinguish the vehicle as well as the surrounding wooded area. The occupant was transported to Tidal Health in Salisbury for further treatment and once the fire was extinguished, the scene was turned over to the Maryland State Police for further investigation.
