A159(Weinman) and RE153(Nalborczyk) responded with 7 personnel. While en route dispatched advised they had 1 patient ejected as well. First arriving RE153 found a single vehicle rolled over down an embankment on I-70 Westbound just east of Mussetter Road. 2 patients were evaluated and aviation was initially requested for one Priority 2 Category B Trauma. Upon further assessment it was determined that patient was a Priority 1 Category A and a second patient was a Priority 2 Category B. Maryland State Police Troopers 3 and 1 transported the patients to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. Carroll Rescue 1 handled the landing zone. Units returned to service at 0445 hours.
