Nothing personnal, but you guys really do need to hire someone to write your stories.

"The patient has been pulled out of the embankment."

I didn't know it was possible to get stuck IN an embankment. Like I said, it really makes whomever writes these stories sound dumb.

Here let me take a stab your version:

A bicyclist has fallen down an embankment at Gilbert Run Park in Charles County. Rescue crews are on the scene. The patient will be flown out to a hospital to be treated for injuries.
The patient has been pulled out of the embankment. Crews are prepping to come out of the woods.
Our reporter is on the scene. More info to come...

My version:

Rescue units are on the scene at Gilbert Run Park after being notified of an injured bicyclist. Indications are the bicyclist fell down an embankment. Rescue crews have secured the injured bicyclist and are packaging the patient for transportation to the hospital via helicopter.

More information to follow from our reporter on the scene....

Notice I did not use any more information than you.

Did I get the job?
