MVA w/ Entrapment in Ashburn

Loudoun County Parkway @ Beaumeade Circle

2-car MVA, high-speed t-bone, 2 patients trapped. One has been extracated, they're still working on another as of 1825. They're going to be doing a double-flyout (Aircare 3 and Aircare 1), using the scene as the LZ. Patient 1 is unconscious, patient 2 experiencing altered LOC.

On my way home now, so I'll try to provide addl updates when I can unless someone beats me to it.

I'm listening. Aircare-3 just landed. I watched him fly in from Leesburg. Aircare-1 in the area now too.
1832- No visual on Aircare-1 yet. But I hear them with Dulles Tower who is helping another plane get a visual on them too. Sky9 is in the area too.
1835-Finally have a visual on Aircare-1 approaching from the SE.
1837- On final. They REALLY need to turn down their volume.

Crash was a Mercedes vs a pickup

Sounds like Aircare-3's patient could possibly not make it. They were doing CPR on the pad, code blue, weak pulse.


1901-House fire being dispatched. Red Hill Rd @ Evergreen Mills Rd. Have to see where this goes. Ops will be on 6D

Herndon Man Charged in Fatal Crash

Loudoun County, Virginia- A two vehicle crash Wednesday evening near Ashburn took the life of one man and injured two others.

Around 6 p.m. a 1994 Honda Civic driven by Juan Francisco Martinez, 25, of Herndon ran the stop sign on eastbound Beaumeade Circle and entered the intersection with Loudoun County Parkway. In the intersection the Civic was hit by a 2004 Dodge Ram truck that was northbound on Loudoun County Parkway. The driver of the truck, Charles R. Daniels, 44, of Berryville was not injured in the crash.

Two passengers in the Honda were airlifted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital. Oscar Hernandez, 25, of Ashburn was listed in stable condition as of early Thursday morning. The second passenger, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Martinez was transported to the Lansdowne Campus of INOVA Loudoun Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries. He was charged with felony reckless driving and driving without a license. He is currently being held at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center without bond.

I was at Waxpool @ Loudoun Cnty Pkwy when Aircare-1 was on final. Seriously... volume control. Geezus.

Aircare-3 and Aircare-1 are en-route to Fairfax Hospital as of 1852.

Thanks for picking up where I left off, freqhopping. :)

Foot Pursuit in Loudoun

State unit 1211 was working a property-damage accident on the toll road @ route 28 when two males ran. Loudoun County Sheriff's Office has been called in to help, as has the MWAA PD. K9 and a helicopter from the airport have been requested.

They don't believe the car is stolen but think the driver may be DUI given that he stumbled a lot as he was running away, according to a witness.

All traffic has been moved to LCSO TAC 2 (talkgroup 1744).

Fairfax 1, some Fairfax units, and some Arlington units are looking for a stolen car - they've been getting lojack hits on a vehicle, and are trying to track it down. Fairfax 1 is referencing "PG2" as another unit who is tracking this vehicle, but I'm not sure who that is

Some rather interesting listening on the Fairfax Public Safety TRS - PD Channels 4/7

Fairfax 1 says that "PG2" just advised the signal looks like it's coming from S. 4 mile run & columbia pike

Major accident on I-66 @ Monument Dr.

Ops on Fairfax 4I & MI HAZMAT

Ice Cream truck on fire, there are propane tanks on the truck.

1 propane tank is venting, the other is not.

They have 66 shut down both directions, EB at 29 and WB at 50 (I think - could be the other way around) and they are just turning traffic around. They also have the monument drive bridge closed.

I don't have VSP programmed into my scanner (I usually listen on a ham rig in my car), so I don't know what they're deal is (major highway incident?)

There is a vdot camera that covers the scene, but it looks like crap.
If anyone has any more info on the accident, or any updates, feel free to post - I'll be away from my computer.

Frozen Food Home Delivery Truck in Flames

It was a Schwan's Ice Cream truck.....destroyed by the fire. It is now sitting peacefully on one of my tractor/trailers @ my lot in Chantilly. Smells a lil ruff, I reckon burn't ice cream mixed with the trucks componets don't mix well uh...lol.

Hope my Schwan bill doesn't go up now, my wife will blame me for charging too much on the tow...!!!

Lots of activity on the Fairfax and Loudoun systems right now. FFX is working a swift water rescue in the Great Falls area on Walker Rd. Civic trapped in a stream flowing over the road. House fires are being worked too elsewhere.

TowPro - Where were you when I needed you tonight?!
I blew a tire a couple hours ago, called Henry's, they told me the wait was 5 hours, so I called Willow Springs, and the guy (you?) told me that you all didn't service Falls Church, and suggested Blairs, who finally got me home.
And I was looking forward to using my new Willow Springs discount card!!

Hope you guys had fun tonight. For a while, I was hearing a swift water rescue every 2 minutes in Fairfax!
I also heard a first - Fairfax was using 4A as a response channel - Very strange to hear.

Sorry I wasn't here, I was @ home dispatching....my guy never told me you called, but then again he would not know ya....LOL

I hope that Blair's treated you well, I know the guy that owns the company. Never, EVER call Henry's.....all I'm gonna say about that !!!!! In extreme conditions as last night, we basically do not cover inside the beltway, only for the police dep't. will we respond. But we do make exceptions, next you have to call here, ask for me personally, first name is Robert.....they can call me @ home if need be, or via Nextel(suxxx)

Fairfax has been working an incident of flooded homes on Fenwick Dr all morning. I heard that sewers backing up had something to do with it. No one is allowed in the area without biohazard suits. Ops are on the Major Incident Suppresion TG 18160. Related ops are on Coordination 1 TG 21200.

I just caught the tail-end of some traffic on Fairfax COORD-1 about residents of 158 homes being displaced and moved to shelters. Anyone know where this might be?
