All,

An ambulance from the Branchville VFD (Co. 11) in Prince Georges County (MD) was car (ambu) jacked earlier tonight resulting in what appears to be the death of an innocent civilian.

Around 1700, Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department Ambulance 811 (of the Branchville firehouse) was carjacked by an EDP (emotionally disturbed person) who assaulted the crew. This occurred on the Capital Beltway near I-95 and Route 1.

Apparently, the ambulance had stopped on the beltway to assist at a crash they saw. Initial reports are that once they stopped, the person driving the crashed vehicle made a grab for the ambulance. After assaulting crew members, the alleged psycho then car (ambu) jacked the unit. Following that, as that person drove the stolen ambulance. the unit was then involved in a very serious crash in front of Joe's Crab Shack at Greenbelt Road & 62nd Avenue. 

As of now reports are that there is one fatality and other injuries.
