My department recently extricated a male subject from a pick up that had plowed into a tree. On scene time to time of extrication was 15 minutes. He came out of the truck alive, was transported to a local hospital, and then med flighted to Mass General Hospital where he died from his injuries. Our Chief said he was going to put us in for the Amkus Star Award, but I don't think this qualifies. Granted, he was alive when we pulled him out, but he still died from injuries caused by the accident. I don't think I would feel right about it. Opinions welcome.
