A man is dead after his vehicle struck a tree and caught fire in Damascus, Maryland on Sunday evening.

Montgomery County police said a 2016 KIA Soul rammed into a tree on Laytonsville Road, north of the intersection with Hawkins Creamery Road near Davis Airport, around 9:44 p.m.

First responders with Montgomery County police and the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service arrived to find the car on fire.

The vehicle’s sole occupant, 21-year-old Aaron Michael Girson of Gaithersburg, became trapped after the crash, and likely succumbed to his injuries within the car, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesman Pete Piringer said.
