Critical crash with ejection closes Largo Rd near Upper Marlboro
An ejection crash shut down Largo Road near Buck Lane and sent an adult woman Priority 1 to a trauma center, renewing concern about a deadly corridor.
An ejection crash shut down Largo Road at Buck Lane near Upper Marlboro after Prince George’s County police and fire crews reached a critical auto collision involving an occupant being thrown from the vehicle. An adult female was taken Priority 1 to a trauma center, and road closures were reported in the area as crews worked the scene.
The Prince George’s County Police Department and the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department handled the emergency response, which centered on immediate medical care and clearing the roadway. The closure affected traffic on and around Largo Road, a route that serves drivers moving through Upper Marlboro and the larger Largo area.
The latest wreck lands on a stretch of road that has already seen other serious crashes. A fatal collision near Largo in August 2025 killed two people and injured several others, underscoring how quickly crashes on this corridor can turn deadly. In other Upper Marlboro cases, county police have turned fatal crash investigations over to the Prince George’s County Police Department Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit, the specialized team that documents the scene, reconstructs the crash and looks for contributing factors.
That pattern matters for residents who drive this corridor every day. Largo Road connects neighborhoods, schools, businesses and county facilities, and repeated severe collisions raise the same questions each time: whether speed is being enforced, whether the roadway design leaves too little margin for error and whether a long-term safety plan is keeping pace with the crashes. The initial response to this incident focused on the emergency and the closure, not on any immediate transportation fix.
For now, the adult woman’s injury and the road shutdown are the clearest signs of how serious the collision was. But the location, at Largo Road and Buck Lane near Upper Marlboro, is now part of a broader record of violent wrecks that keeps putting Prince George’s County responders back on the same roads.
