That individual was taken to the hospital by Medic 8 with injuries. Engine 10 and Medic 10 removed another occupant from the severely damaged vehicle. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Engine Company 10 remained on scene and used a thermal imaging camera to search for signs of anybody in the nearby woods. No other people were believed to be involved in this crash.
