| At 12:44pm units from Union Bridge and Libertytown were sent to the 11900 Block of Green Valley Road for a report of a tractor trailer accident with entrapment. First arriving, Chief 8-1 (Cartwright) found a loaded dry bulk tractor trailer on its side with the driver still in the vehicle. Green Valley Road Command was established and a Haz Mat unit was requested for a diesel fuel spill. Engine 101 was added for additional manpower on the assignment and the Carroll County Haz-Mat Team was sent to handle the spill. The driver was freed from the vehicle and sent to a local hospital. Units operated on the scene for 2 hours prior to returning to service.
