Five people were injured and one person killed in a multivehicle crash in the Wheaton-Glenmont area of Montgomery County, Maryland, late Wednesday night. Around 10:17 p.m., Montgomery County police officers were attempting to stop a suspect who fled after striking a police cruiser during a traffic stop. The suspect, in a white Nissan Maxima, then crashed into a Toyota Corolla and a Honda Pilot near Georgia and Henderson avenues, according to police. One of the vehicles rolled onto its side, said a Fire and Rescue Services official, leaving its occupant pinned inside. One passenger inside the Maxima — a 19-year-old man, was arrested by police after the crash while another was pronounced dead at the scene. All lanes have been cleared as of 5 a.m. Thursday morning after Georgia Avenue was blocked overnight by police and medical personnel.
