Police have identified a man who died in a car crash in Montgomery County, Maryland on Saturday night.

Jose Vidal Urias Beltran, 30, of Germantown, was a passenger in the blue 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was involved in the crash.



Montgomery County police said around 11:15 p.m., officers got a call to the area of Frederick Road and Plummer Drive in Germantown regarding the crash. They said their original investigation discovered a silver 2006 Ford F250 traveling southbound on Frederick Road.
