JOPPATOWNE, MD - Two Maryland State Police helicopter crews rescued an injured man from Gunpowder Falls Wednesday evening.
18-year-old Joshua Cianchetta had jumped into the river around 5 p.m. and landed on an object that impaled his chest. Emergency responders from Harford County reached Cianchetta by land and found him hanging on to a rock underneath a railroad bridge. Because of his injuries, EMS crews decided it was too dangerous to remove him by ground and called in help from State Police.
The crew from Trooper 1 lowered a basket to the ground and Cianchetta was put into it. The crew were able to hoist Cianchetta off the ground and take him to a nearby parking lot where another State Police medevac helicopter took him to Shock Trauma.
Cianchetta is listed in critical, but stable condition at the hospital.
