2 Injured In Bel Air Snow-Clearing Incidents: Officials

BEL AIR, MD — Two people were hospitalized from incidents in Bel Air that involved snow-clearing equipment Tuesday, according to emergency officials.

One person was taken to a regional trauma center after getting a hand stuck in a snow blower in Bel Air, said Rich Gardiner, spokesman for the Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association. Before emergency medical services personnel arrived, Gardiner said the individual's hand had been removed from the machine in the 800 block of Flintlock Drive.

Another person was taken to a local hospital because of a separate incident that had to do with snow clearing. Gardiner said that a snow plow cut someone's finger in Bel Air, and that person was taken to a local hospital from the 1500 block of Emmorton Road for treatment of the laceration.

According to Gardiner, the only other storm-related incident that Harford County emergency personnel handled before 4 p.m. happened at the Royal Farms in the 2900 block of Churchville Road in Churchville. He said the canopy over the gas pumps collapsed at the gas station.

At the Harford County Emergency Operations Center in Hickory, Rhonda Hinch said before noon that the 911 center had been fielding calls for fallen trees as well as utility lines down and wires arcing.
