On Tuesday, the Baltimore City Fire Department posted that one of it's paramedics had died.

Erica Harrison, 39, worked for the Fire Department for two and a half years and would've celebrated her second anniversary of being assigned to Medic #27 on Thursday.

"Erica's dedication to and service to our department and community are a testament to her kind and compassionate spirit. Her impact will be deeply felt and remembered by all who had the honor of working alongside her," the post read.

Maryland State Police tell us that Harrison was taken to Shock Trauma following a crash on I-95 South near Aberdeen, where we know she later died.

Harrison was on a motorcycle that lost control and a car, trying to avoid her, crashed into her.

Troopers say they don't believe alcohol was a factor in the crash and that the investigation is ongoing.

Funeral and memorial service information is not yet known.
