COMBATIVE MAN LIFE-FLIGHTED TO CHARLESTON FOR TREATMENT |
| (05/21/2005) |
| Brian Lamp of Grantsville is in Charleston Area Medical Center being treated for head trauma following a truck accident on Mt. Zion Ridge early Friday morning. A status report was not available from CAMC regarding his condition. Lamp was life-flighted by HealthNet from Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center, where he was taken by Calhoun EMS for emergency treatment and evaluation. Lamp turned combative toward emergency personnel after a truck he was driving struck a road bank and his head went into the windshield. He started throwing punches at Calhoun EMS and Grantsville VFD personnel when they attempted to assist him, managing to remove himself from an ambulance cot several times. At one time, he ran down the highway striking a fire truck with his fist when it arrived on the scene, denting it. Chief Deputy Ron Bandy of the Calhoun Sheriff's Department negotiated with the the male subject to accept medical treatment. "This kind of thing is difficult to handle, when the man appears to be suffering from an injury," said Bandy. A female passenger in the truck was also taken to MHHCC. Calhoun EMS responded to the scene with two ambulances, in addition to the Grantsville VFD. Traffic flow was disrupted on Rt. 16 for over an hour. The incident is still under investigation.
