Five people were injured and one person killed in a multivehicle crash in the Wheaton-Glenmont area of Montgomery County, Maryland, late Wednesday night.
Around 10:17 p.m., Montgomery County police officers were attempting to stop a suspect who fled after striking a police cruiser during a traffic stop.
The suspect, in a white Nissan Maxima, then crashed into a Toyota Corolla and a Honda Pilot near Georgia and Henderson avenues, according to police.
One of the vehicles rolled onto its side, said a Fire and Rescue Services official, leaving its occupant pinned inside.
One passenger inside the Maxima was arrested by police after the crash while another was pronounced dead at the scene. All lanes have been cleared as of 5 a.m. Thursday morning after Georgia Avenue was blocked overnight by police and medical personnel.
