Maryland State Police Aviation Trooper 5 from Cumberland was called to Preston County, West Virginia the night of July 4th to rescue a driver hurt in a UTV rollover. Trooper 5 responded to an area near Cheat River around 8pm Friday night. The difficult terrain and remote location made the aerial hoist necessary.  The victim was secured, hoisted, and transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital for treatment.
