DAMASCUS, Md. — One person is dead following a three-car collision in Damascus Monday night.
It happened on Ridge Road (MD-27), just north of Sweepstakes Road.
That's where Montgomery County Police discovered the driver of a Toyota Camry lying unresponsive in the street.
Police say River Jordan Washington, 19 of Monrovia, swerved into oncoming traffic colliding with a Lexus NX350.
Upon impact, Washington was thrown from his vehicle and struck by an oncoming Ford Fusion.
The Lexus driver was trapped and needed to be rescued. She was hospitalized with serious injuries.
The operator of the Ford Fusion was not hurt.
"Several witnesses reported to investigators that the Toyota was traveling at a high rate of speed and driving erratically before the collision," police said in a release.
