HOWARD COUNTY, Md. () — One person is dead and three people were hospitalized after five vehicles, including a Maryland State Police cruiser, were involved in a crash in Howard County early Sunday. Just minutes after 2 a.m., MSP troopers received a call for a trooper-involved crash in the area of Interstate 95 south, north of Maryland 100. At the scene, troopers learned that an on-duty MSP trooper was sitting in his unmarked patrol vehicle on the left shoulder of I-95 when, for unknown reasons, a Jeep Cherokee hit him, according to MSP. Police said the impact of the crash caused the Jeep to go into the roadway, where a GMC pickup truck, a Lincoln SUV and a Volkswagen struck it. The driver of the Jeep, who police have not yet identified, died at the scene, and a passenger from the vehicle was taken to the hospital for treatment. The driver of the GMC pickup truck was also hospitalized. Responders rescue 2 people from Potomac River in DC after boat overturns Medics took the trooper to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
