WASHINGTON — One adult is dead and three people are fighting for their lives after an Impala struck a trash truck on Edmonston Road in Beltsville, Maryland around 4:45 a.m. Monday.
Prince George’s County Police Cpl. Nicole Hubbard says the driver of the car died. The three critically injured include two people from the Impala and the driver of the garbage truck.
The garbage truck was going northbound, while the Impala was traveling southbound in the 11300 block of Edmonston Road.
“For reasons that remain unclear, the Impala left his lane, left the roadway, entering the southbound lane — and, it struck the trash truck head-on,” Hubbard said at a news briefing.
Hubbard says two other people in the Impala sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were released at the scene.
During the investigation, Edmonston Road was closed between Powder Mill and Old Baltimore Pike.
