Fallston, MD — One person died and another was injured due to a crash near the intersection of Mountain and Belair roads before 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, officials said.

Mountain Road was closed for approximately three hours, according to Maryland State Police.

The head-on collision happened in the 300 block of Mountain Road, according to Rich Gardiner, spokesman for the Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association.

At least one person was trapped in the crash, he said, noting a medevac was requested, but due to weather it was unavailable.
