(SALISBURY, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating a two-vehicle crash that occurred Sunday evening in Wicomico County.
Two passengers in a Toyota Corolla, a 17-year-old and a 25-year-old, were flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a local trauma center for treatment of their injuries. The driver of the Toyota, an 18-year-old male, and two additional passengers, a 20-year-old and an 18-year-old, were transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries. The driver of a Ford Fiesta, a 46-year-old female, was also transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Around 6:50 p.m. yesterday, troopers from the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack responded to the area of U.S. Route 50 and White Lowe Road for a report of a two-vehicle crash. According to a preliminary investigation, the Toyota failed to yield to the traffic control device (red light) upon approaching the intersection of U.S. Route 50 and White Lowe Road, and struck the Ford, which was attempting to make a left turn from eastbound Route 50. The impact from the crash caused the Ford to leave the roadway and strike a light pole. The Toyota left the roadway and entered an embankment, where the vehicle overturned and struck a tree.
Lanes were closed for approximately three hours for the crash investigation. The Maryland State Police Crash Team continues to lead the active and ongoing investigation.
As someone who lives on White Lowe Road, that intersection has been nothing but trouble since they built the Royal Farms there. Cars also don’t even stop at the stop sign when exiting on to White Lowe Road and don’t yield to people driving on my road. They assume everyone is going to turn into Royal Farms. It’s been a nightmare and very poor planning by the state highway administration and Wicomico County since it has been built. Even worse in the summer with the morons driving to Ocean City.
We need a ROUNDABOUT at every cross road on Route 50 >>From
The Bay Bridge to Ocean City
That will slow their City driving ass down
