It is with deep regret and sadness that the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems acknowledges the unfortunate crash of Trooper 2 of the Maryland State Police Aviation Command fleet. The crew was on a life-saving mission transporting two injured patients from a crash scene in Charles County, Maryland to a trauma center. Another Maryland Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Provider from the Waldorf Rescue Squad was on-board assisting with the medical treatment. The fatalities include the State Police pilot and flight medic, the volunteer EMS medical provider, and a patient. A second patient on the helicopter survived the crash and is being treated. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the families, friends, and loved ones of the providers and patient that were killed in the crash.
