Just before 7:00, Monday evening rescue crews responded to Route 202 in the area of the Concord Mall for reports of high-velocity motor vehicle accident.
While en route to the scene crews learned that powerlines were down on a vehicle with the occupant still inside the vehicle. As a result of the live powerlines, Delmarva Power was dispatch to the location. Once the power was cut crews were able to make access to the patient. The condition of the patient is unknown at this time.
