2 in Shock Trauma Following Crash; Route 23 Reopened

UPDATE (9:09 p.m.)—Two people were flown to Maryland Shock Trauma on Monday after a head-on collision involving a male who had been flagged earlier in the day for "aggressive driving," according to Maryland State Police.

Maryland Route 23 was closed between U.S. Route 1 and Maryland Route 24 as a result of the accident. The stretch of road was reopened around 8:45 p.m.

An unidentified man was driving a 2010 Ford, model unknown, west on East-West Highway when he crossed the double-yellow line and hit another vehicle head-on, the duty officer said. A third car then "ricocheted" off the car struck by the male. The two other vehicles in the accident were 2010 and 2011 Toyotas, though police could not confirm the models, nor the order in which order they were struck.

The male was transported to Bayview Medical Center by ambulance and two other people involved in the accident were flown out by medevac. Police said a "be on the lookout" had been issued earlier in the day for the male who allegedly caused the accident.

All injuries are considered "non-life-threatening," the duty officer said.

The incident occurred near the intersection of Commerce Road around 6 p.m. None of the drivers have been identified by police.
