4 Rescued From Crashes In Harford Saturday Night: Officials

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — In a matter of 20 minutes, Harford County first responders said they were called to two separate crashes Saturday night that required rescues.

At 5:41 p.m., crews were called to a collision where people were trapped in the 2300 block of Conowingo Road, said Jenn Chenworth, spokeswoman for the Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association.

The Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company worked to free the victims, a process which she said was completed in 10 minutes. Two people were taken to regional trauma centers for treatment from the collision, according to Chenworth.

A second crash happened about 10 minutes later and also required a rescue, she said.

Members of the Norrisville Volunteer Fire Company responded to Clermont Mill Road at Falling Branch Road at 5:50 p.m. and found two people on top of a vehicle, Chenworth said, adding they were being evaluated.

Drivers were advised to use caution around first responders.

As a reminder, there is a "Move Over Law" in Maryland that mandates drivers move over one lane, if possible, to protect the safety of first responders and tow trucks with their lights activated.
