Two People Killed, Another Injured In Upper Marlboro Car Crash
November 1, 2011
Two people were killed and another person was hurt in a car accident Monday night in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. According to NBC-Washington, the crash happened just after 10:00 PM at the intersection of Woodyard and Perrywood Roads.
The 23-year-old driver of a 2009 Kia Spectra was racing north along the rural road when he approached another vehicle from behind and attempted to pass it, even though it was a no passing zone. Unfortunately, the young driver misjudged the time it would take to pass the vehicle and collided head-on with a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander driven by a 52-year-old woman that was traveling southbound. Because a driver was following too closely and did not have time to stop, the initial impact of the two vehicles was immediately followed by the jarring smash of a 2011 Ford Fusion plowing into the rear-end of the Mitsubishi SUV. Both drivers involved in the head-on collision were declared dead at the scene of the crash. The driver of the Ford Fusion survived though, and was taken to an area hospital where he was last listed in stable condition.
Authorities believe speed and wet conditions were both factors in the crash.
