Woman Battling Life Threatening Injuries After Car Crash in Edgewater
EDGEWATER, Md. (WJZ) -- A woman is in critical condition following a serious car crash in Anne Arundel County.
Officers responded to a call on Central Ave. East Loch Haven Road in Edgewater for a single vehicle crash on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m.
A Nissan Maxima was traveling eastbound on Central Avenue approaching a curve onto Loch Haven Road just before the driver control.
The vehicle crossed into the other lane and struck a tree on the outskirts of the road.
The driver was uninjured and declined transportation to the hospital.
The passenger, a woman in her twenties, was immediately flown to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center by a Maryland State Police helicopter with life-threatening injuries.
The cause of the crash appears to be the driver failing to remain in a single lane.
Speed and alcohol appear to have contributed to this crash.
The Traffic Saftey Section is handling the investigation and the case will be reviewed by the States Attorney.
