One person seriously hurt in multi-vehicle crash in Prince George's County
A woman had to be rescued from a multi-car crash near Park Maryland Park Drive and Dave’s Street and was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
A woman was trapped in a multi-car crash near Park Maryland Park Drive and Dave’s Street in Prince George’s County and taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department said crews were called around 3:30 p.m. to the area for reports of the wreck.
Firefighters rescued the woman from the vehicle before she was transported for treatment. The crash involved multiple vehicles, making it one of the county’s more serious afternoon collisions and another reminder of how quickly a single roadway incident can turn into a major emergency response.
The crash came during a stretch of severe wrecks across Prince George’s County. On John Hanson Highway, another multi-vehicle crash injured seven people, and one person had to be rescued after becoming trapped in a car. Seven people were taken to the hospital in that incident, including two who were in critical condition.
Police also responded to a Sunday night multi-vehicle crash at New Hampshire Avenue and Merrimac Drive, where several people were hurt. In Adelphi, a left-turn collision killed three people after a vehicle struck a motorcycle and another vehicle, with police later identifying the victims. Those crashes have kept pressure on county roadways where heavy traffic, fast-moving turns and multiple conflict points can quickly turn dangerous.
The pattern has also reached Upper Marlboro, where Thomas Garner III died from injuries suffered in a June 5 crash near Croom Road and West End Farm Road. The Prince George’s County Police Department said Garner, 71, died more than a month after the crash, underscoring how injuries from serious roadway collisions can worsen long after the scene has cleared.
For Prince George’s County drivers, the latest crash near Park Maryland Park Drive and Dave’s Street fits into a broader run of high-consequence incidents that have required rescues, hospital transports and homicide investigations. The county has seen repeated serious wrecks on major roads and at busy intersections, and each one leaves the same immediate questions about speed, turning movements, visibility and driver behavior at the crash scene.
