A single‑car crash on the Beltway’s Outer Loop in Greenbelt left one driver dead and closed lanes for more than four hours, Maryland State Police said.

A section of the Outer Loop of the Beltway was closed for about four and a half hours Sunday in Prince George’s County after a single‑car crash that left the driver dead.

Maryland State Police said the crash happened just before 3:15 a.m. along Interstate 495 at Cherrywood Lane.

Troopers with the Maryland State Police College Park Barrack said a Mercedes-Benz overturned in the second lane and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

The WTOP Traffic Center reported lanes were reopened at 7:44 a.m.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
