A four-car crash Saturday evening in Annapolis sent six people to the hospital, including two to the University of Maryland's Shock Trauma Center.
At roughly 6:40 p.m. Saturday, police responded to a multi-vehicle crash on MD-665 at Riva Road in Annapolis. An early investigation showed a Ford Raptor traveling east on Md-665 crossed the median into oncoming westbound traffic and hit a GMC pickup, a Dodge pickup, and a Hyundai.
Witnesses who spoke to police came forward to say they had noticed the Raptor driving aggressively on US-50 before the crash. Currently, drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a factor, though that will be investigated.

The driver and passenger of the GMC, Joshua Tylor Murphy, 24, of Ruther Glen, Va., and Jerry Maurice Norris, 44, of Virginia Beach, Va., were both taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center with minor injuries.
