Six people are injured, one of them seriously, after a crash in Maryland’s Aspen Hill early Thursday morning.
Montgomery County first responders were called to the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Atherton Drive around 7:30 a.m. Thursday for a crash involving a 1997 Ford F150 and a 2015 Kia Optima.
A crash investigation determined the Ford F150, which had been pulling a utility trailer behind it, had attempted a left turn from eastbound Atherton Drive to north Connecticut Avenue when it collided with the southbound Kia Optima in the middle of the intersection.
