MIDDLE RIVER, Md. (AP) — Law enforcement authorities say a woman was killed and a child injured in a five-car crash in Middle River.

The woman’s car then struck two other vehicles. Police have identified her as 23-year-old Middle River resident Alexis Lashey Steele.

Steele was transported to a Baltimore hospital, where she later died. Her son was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
