Maryland State Police are continuing to investigate a serious crash that closed down Route 140 near the Baltimore County/Carroll County line Monday morning.

Police and emergency responders were called to the crash on eastbound Rt 140 east of Old Westminster Pike around 8 a.m. where they found six vehicles involved. Police say their investigation shows the driver of a 2005 Ford pickup truck was traveling just before 8 a.m. west on Rt 140 when it crossed a double yellow line and struck a dump truck head on, causing a chain reaction involving four other cars. The dump truck came to rest in the westbound lanes on the bridge and the other cars coming to a stop in the east bound lanes.

Police closed the road in both directions for about two hours.

The driver of the van has been identified as 45-year-old Todd Selby of Westminster. He was flown by State Police to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. Police believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the crash. Charges are pending.

The driver of a 2009 Honda SUV, Lance Brobosky of Finksburg, was taken to Carroll Hospital.

Police have identified the individuals in the remaining four vehicles as:

Daniel Kurnik, 38, of York, Pennsylvania was driving a 2018 Kenilworth dump truck.

Joanna Harmon, 60, of Finksburg was driving a 2014 four door Volkswagen.

Andrew Fisher, 21, of Finksburg was driving a 2015 Ford truck.

David Grahl, 52, Linthicum Heights was driving a 2014 Ford work van. He had a passenger in the van, identified as Charles Ludwig, III, 43, of Westminster.

Police will continue to investigate.
