Police: Two People Killed in Two-Vehicle Crash In Prince George's County
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — Two people are dead following a two-vehicle crash on Saturday on a suburban Washington road, the Maryland State Police said.
Troopers and Prince George's County fire and rescue workers responded to a call early Saturday afternoon in the northbound lanes of Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro, the state police said in a news release.
State police initially announced Saturday that responding troopers and county rescue workers found four people inside one of the vehicles, and that the county fire department determined that all of them had died. Later, the state police said in an email that its crash investigator had found the remains of only two people after examining the car in detail.
The driver in the other vehicle reported no injuries and was taken to a state police office for the investigation, which was continuing Saturday. The names of those involved in the crash weren't immediately released.
Both directions of Crain Highway at the accident site, located about 20 miles east of Washington, were closed Saturday afternoon, with traffic being detoured.
