Police: Alcohol Possible Factor in Deadly Crash

Authorities say alcohol may have contributed to an accident in which a Clarksburg woman died Tuesday.

The crash occurred in the Dawsonville area of Montgomery County on Darnestown Road (Route 28) at Whites Ferry Road (Route 107).

Investigators say a 2003, Chevrolet S10 Trailblazer with three occupants was on Darnestown Road approaching the Whites Ferry Road intersection. For reasons under investigation, the Trailblazer crossed the center line and struck a 2008 Honda Accord, which also had three occupants.

The SUV left the road, and struck a tree. Two of its passengers -- identified as Tiffany Nicole Bein, 23, of the 12800 block of Shawnee Lane in Clarksburg, and John Gilbert Reyes, 23, of the 12800 block of Locbury Circle in Germantown -- were thrown from the Trailblazer.

Bein was taken to Suburban Hospital, where she died from her injuries. Authorities say Reyes remains in critical condition at the Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.

The driver of the Trailblazer, Torray James Jr., 26, of the 5700 block of Trailview Court in Baltimore, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and was taken to Suburban Hospital. Alcohol is a possible contributing factor in the crash, police say.

The driver of the Honda, Janet Yeboah, 47, of Germantown and a passenger, Sylvester Yeboah, 31, of Germantown, were taken to Shady Grove Hospital with minor injuries. Another passenger, Drew Brown, 18, was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital with minor injuries.
