Woman critically injured after being ejected in Largo crash
A woman was thrown from her vehicle in a two-car crash near Buck Lane and Largo Road and was hospitalized in critical condition.
A woman was ejected from her vehicle and taken to a hospital in critical condition after a two-vehicle crash near Buck Lane and Largo Road in Largo, a violent impact that turned a midday drive into a life-threatening emergency.
Prince George’s County police said officers responded around 12:15 p.m. on May 28, 2026, after the collision in the Largo area. The woman was thrown from her vehicle during the crash. Police said later in the day that her condition had not been updated.
The driver of the other vehicle was not hurt. Investigators have not said what caused the crash, and the case remained under investigation.
The location matters in a county where serious crashes have remained a stubborn problem. Prince George’s County had 34 traffic deaths as of May 15, 2025, according to Capital News Service reporting based on Maryland Department of State Police crash data. In the same comparison, Baltimore County had 12 traffic deaths and Montgomery County had 10. Prince George’s County police have pointed to dense population and major thoroughfares as part of the reason the county keeps posting such high numbers.
The latest crash also fits a wider pattern that safety officials have warned about for years: when a person is ejected from a vehicle, the injury risk rises sharply. The CDC says seat belts can cut the risk of serious injury and death in a crash by half. Maryland law requires seat belts for drivers and adult front-seat passengers, and those violations can be enforced directly by police.
State safety officials also note that fatal crash counts are compiled from police reports and can change as investigations are updated. That means the full picture of highway deaths in Maryland is often still shifting even as families and emergency crews are dealing with the immediate aftermath.
For Largo drivers, the crash is another reminder that a routine trip through one of the county’s busiest corridors can become dangerous in an instant. With investigators still sorting out the cause, the clearest facts are already stark: two vehicles collided, one woman was ejected, and she remained in critical condition after the crash.
