CECIL COUNTY, Md. — Maryland State Police are investigating the cause of a deadly interstate crash involving three vehicles on Saturday.
Authorities say the crash happened shortly before 6:50 p.m. Troopers were called to respond to a crash on the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 in North East, Maryland.
A preliminary investigation revealed that traffic was already stopped in the left two lanes due to a previous crash when a Chevrolet Sonic rear-ended a 2026 Toyota Highlander and the Highlander rear-ended a Toyota Rav4.
The driver of the Chevrolet, identified as Gage Myers, 18, of New Jersey, was declared deceased at the scene by emergency medical services personnel. The passenger in the car, identified as a 19-year-old woman, was flown to Christiana Medical Center for treatment of her injuries.
The driver and two juvenile passengers of the Highlander, one boy and one girl, were injured during the crash. Both the driver and the boy were transported by MSP helicopter to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment. The girl was taken to Nemours Children’s Hospital in Delaware.
Northbound I-95 was closed for just less than four hours following the crash. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
