On 10/28/2016 @ approximately 2028 hours units from the
Calvert County Sheriff's Office responded to Rt.4 and Chaneyville Road for the
reported "serious accident."
Initial responding deputies found a three car collision. A passenger vehicle travelling southbound on
Rt.4 struck the rear of a pickup truck and then veered off the roadway, which
resulted in the initial striking vehicle striking another passenger car
(unoccupied) in the parking lot of the World Gym - Owings.
The single occupant of the striking vehicle was trapped in
his vehicle, requiring the Dunkirk Fire Department to assist with removal. The occupant had a strong odor of an
alcoholic beverage emitting from his person, and appeared to be "out of
it."
The single occupant of the pickup truck was evaluated by EMS
personnel, signed a refusal form, and was released from the scene upon his
request. His vehicle was not towed.
The occupant of the striking vehicle received medical care
from the crew of Ambulance59 and Medic101.
Paramedics determined that his medical state required immediate
transport to a trauma facility. Trooper
6 responded to the scene for aviation transport.
The striking vehicle was towed by Chips towing to their
lot. At this point in the investigation,
it did not appear that the patient was suffering from life threatening
injuries.
After the patient was reassessed, assistance was requested
from the Crash Reconstruction Team. Det. Rector and CPL Wilson responded to the
scene and assumed the investigation.
Trooper 6 transported the adult male to Baltimore Shock
Trauma. Contact was made with the Trauma
Resuscitation Unit and advised that they anticipate a full recovery.
DFC Durner will be completing an accident report. Det. Rector will assist with obtaining a
subpoena for medical records to assist DFC Durner with charging this male with
DUI/DWI and possession of narcotics.
