Woman Killed in Crash; Alcohol May Be Factor: Police

GLEN BURNIE, MD – A Glen Burnie driver may have been driving drunk when his car crashed Thursday, killing a passenger, police say.

The two-car crash happened about 10:30 p.m. on Point Pleasant Road near Genine Drive in the Point Pleasant community of Glen Burnie.

A Mercury Grand Marquis driven by Todd Logan Hannahs, 40, of 999 Hilltop Road in Glen Burnie was westbound on Point Pleasant Road. Anne Arundel County Police say Hannahs’ car repeatedly swerved across the road before spinning out and crossing the center line.

An eastbound Dodge Caliber driven by Emily Rose Orme, 20, of 1025 Bell Ave. in Glen Burnie, struck the Mercury on the passenger’s side door.

The front-seat passenger in Hannahs’ car had to be cut from the vehicle by firefighters and was taken to Shock Trauma, where she was declared dead. Police identified the victim as Latasha Beulah Jones, 46, of 6471 Cedar Furnace Circle in Glen Burnie.

Orme was taken to Harbor Hospital with minor injuries. Police say Hannahs was not injured.

Police faulted Hannahs for failure to remain right of center. Wet road conditions and alcohol use by the driver contributed to the accident.

Any charges are pending review by the state’s attorney.
