WASHINGTON — The driver and a passenger of a car were killed after a crash on Interstate 270 in Frederick County, Maryland, Wednesday night, state police said.

The driver of a Chevrolet Corvette was speeding, police said, and after changing lanes, the car struck a second vehicle and lost control. The Corvette veered off road, going through a guardrail on the right shoulder and hitting several trees.
