A deadly head-on crash in Maryland left one man dead and several others injured early Thursday morning, police say.
Howard County police are investigating a fatal head-on crash that occurred around 5 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, on Route 97 near Roxbury Road in Glenwood.
Investigators say a 2004 Honda Pilot traveling northbound crossed the center line and collided head-on with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado before striking a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse.
The impact caused a rear passenger in the Honda to be ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and front passenger of the Honda were rushed to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where the front passenger is fighting for their life.
A second rear passenger in the Honda escaped with minor injuries, police said.
The driver and passenger of the Chevrolet Silverado were taken to Carroll Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, the occupants of the Chevrolet Traverse walked away with no serious injuries.
