One person is dead and another was airlifted to the hospital Saturday after two vehicles collided on U.S. Route 301 in Charles County, Maryland, in a possible drunk driving crash, police say.
A driver in a 1995 Ford F-150 began traveling north in the southbound lanes of U.S. Route 301 in Newburg about 12:40 a.m., according to Maryland State Police.
Krystal Daniella-Lyn Lewis, a 22-year-old of Newburg, Maryland, was traveling on a southbound lane in a 2017 Honda Civic at the same time, police say.
The Ford F-150 collided head-on with the Honda Civic, flipping the Ford F-150, which landed on its roof.
The driver of the Ford F-150 was pronounced dead on the scene. Their name has not yet been released.
Lewis was airlifted in a helicopter to the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital for treatment.
Police say alcohol was likely a factor in the crash.
The crash is continuing to be investigated by Corporal J. Zimmerman of the Maryland State Police CRASH Team. Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to contact Zimmerman at 301-392-1231.
