While SHCo crews were setting up a scenario, a vehicle drove off the marina parking lot and into the water next to Marine 5. A SHCo rescue diver, already donned in appropriate PPE, was able to immediately get into the water and start the rescue of the trapped occupant. The vehicle became submerged with the occupant, who was seat-belted in the vehicle. After a short time, the driver and rescue diver surfaced. The patient was then loaded onto Marine 5 & evaluated by Havre De Grace Ambulance Corps, before being transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Trauma Center.”
