Working alongside first responders, the crew identified two patients for transport, and a second medical helicopter provider joined the flight to assist with patient care. While attempting to deliver the patients to a trauma center, Trooper 2 encountered poor weather, diverted to the closest airport, and crashed in Walker Mill Park on approach to Andrews Air Force Base. Pilot Stephen Bunker, TFC and Flight Paramedic Mickey Lippy, patient Ashley Younger, and Waldorf VFD medical provider Tanya Mallard were killed, while patient Jordon Wells survived and was located, treated, and transported by rescuers.
