Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced on the scene by Medic 21. Chief 3A Clark Embrey arrived on scene and assumed command from Safety 12. Squad 3 arrived on scene and provided extra cribbing so the vehicle could be left in place for accident reconstruction. Units remained on the scene for under an hour before returning to quarters.
