BALTIMORE — A four-car crash in Northwest Baltimore left one person dead Saturday evening.

Baltimore Police say patrol officers were following a 17-year-old driving a Honda CRV, as part of some undisclosed investigation.

Around that time, the teen drove through the intersection at Liberty Heights Avenue and Grantley Road, colliding with multiple vehicles.

The teen driver of the Honda CRV, later died at an area hospital.

Occupants of two other vehicle were also hospitalized, while those inside the fourth vehicle declined medical treatment.

It's still unclear why police were initially following the teen.

Due to officer involvement, the Baltimore Police Department’s Special Investigations Response Team and Maryland Attorney General’s Office will conduct a joint-investigation.

Although the police vehicle was not equipped with a dashboard camera, the officers did have body-worn cameras.
