 Wed. May 25, 2016 - On the scene of a single vehicle tractor and trailer accident on Rte. 31 west of Westminster half-way between Windsor Drive and Tahoma Farm Road. http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/05/wed-may-25-2016-on-scene-of-single.html

The first call came in for [Sta 3 Fire] at 01:02 am CT: VC RESCUE RT 31 / WINDSOR DR BOX: 0323 DUE: X37 E31 RS6. Units from the New Windsor, and Westminster Vol. Fire Departments, Maryland State Police, MDE, SHA, and Carroll County Sheriff’s Office responded.

Upon arrival Westminster first responders discovered a single vehicle truck accident. A cement hauler was northbound when it left the road for unknown reasons. Although the driver walked-away from the accident and only sustained non-life threatening injuries, the driver was transported to Carroll Hospital for treatment and observation.

Firefighters remained on the scene until approximately 2:20 am. However heavy-wreckers remained several more hours removing the tractor and trailer from the scene of the accident. Rte. 31 remained closed for almost 4 hours.

The only reported injury was to the driver. There were no reports of any injuries among the first responders.

The accident remains under investigation by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
