REISTERSTOWN, Md. — Maryland State Police are investigating the cause of a deadly four-car crash on I-795 that caused a four-hour road closure on Wednesday.
Police say that just after 1 p.m., troopers responded to I-795 North before Westminster Pike for a report of a crash.
A preliminary investigation revealed a Ford F150 pickup truck was driving south on I-795 when it crashed into the back of a 2005 Ford F350 pickup truck.
Both trucks rolled into the median and traveled into the northbound lanes. The Ford F350 crashed head-on into a 2017 Toyota Rav4.
The driver of the Rav4, now identified as 30-year-old Kaitlin Elizabeth Stranick from Pennsylvania, was declared dead at the scene by EMS.
