Two Separate Collisions in Joppa Leave One Man Dead and Several Others Injured

From the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company:

At 6:36 pm, the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company (JMVFC) was alerted to a vehicle collision on state route 152, Mountain Road, at Old Mountain Road Central, Joppa. Upon arrival, Firefighters found a three vehicle collision with two people trapped. Additional resources were requested bringing 2 more JMVFC paramedic units and a paramedic unit and rescue truck from the Kingsville Volunteer Fire Company (KVFC). The JMVFC Firefighters used their Jaws of Life to peel away the mangled metal from the two trapped occupants. Unfortunately, one of the patients, an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second trapped patient was also an adult male. He was removed and ultimately transported to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore by JMVFC paramedic unit. The driver from the second vehicle, an adult male, was taken to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Trauma Center by JMVFC paramedic unit in serious condition. The driver from the third vehicle refused treatment and transport.

At 7:53 pm, the JMVFC was alerted to another vehicle collision on Mountain Road. This collision was near Jerusalem Road, in front of Mountain Branch Golf Course. When they arrived, Firefighters found a collision involving a vehicle and a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was transported to the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center by JMVFC paramedic unit in grave condition. The driver of the vehicle refused treatment and transport. As of 9:00 pm, Mountain Road remains closed between Greenspring Avenue and Jerusalem Road while the Maryland State Police investigate the collisions.
