6 Hospitalized In 4-Vehicle Annapolis Crash: Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Six people were injured, one critically, in a four-vehicle crash on MD-665 in Annapolis that may have been caused by an aggressive driver, according to Anne Arundel County Police. The accident happened about 6:40 p.m. Saturday on Aris T. Allen Blvd (MD-665) at Riva Road. Investigators say a Ford Raptor was eastbound on MD-665 when it crossed the median into the westbound lanes, striking a GMC pickup, Dodge pickup, and a Hyundai.

Witnesses told police the Ford Raptor was being driven aggressively by an Edgewater man before the crash while it was still on US-50 eastbound. It does not appear that drugs or alcohol were involved, authorities say. Any charges will be filed after review by the State’s Attorney's office.
