Man ID'd In Fatal Crash As MoCo Reports Car Rollovers

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Several car rollovers and collisions were reported across the county over the weekend, as officials reported one person was killed.

Car rollovers were reported in Rockville, Laytonsville, and Silver Spring.

One rollover on Baltimore Road, near the Historic Rockville Cemetery, unfolded Saturday around 7 p.m.

Two cars were involved, with both drivers hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

First responders had to work to free one of the drivers after they became trapped in their vehicle.

Another rollover was reported later Saturday along Key West Avenue and Great Seneca Highway. Video from the scene showed a four-door Jeep Wrangler on its side.

By Sunday morning, emergency crews with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services were called to the westbound lanes of MD-200.

A car rollover was reported near exit 8, between Layhill Road and Georgia Avenue, in Silver Spring.

Details regarding injuries were not made available.

In Laytonsville, a collision proved deadly after one driver was killed, according to MCFRS spokesperson David Pazos.

Crews responded to a collision near Woodfield and Glendalough roads just before 1:30 a.m.

At the scene, officials were able to free one driver, a woman, from her car. She was hospitalized with critical injuries at that time, but is now in stable condition, according to authorities.

A Monday release issued by the Montgomery County Police Department identified the deceased driver as 39-year-old Jorge Estuardo Moran Hernandez, of Clarksburg.

Early findings in the investigation found that the Clarksburg man was driving a 2012 Ford F-150 pickup truck on the northbound lanes of Woodfield Road when he collided with a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was traveling on the southbound lanes.

"Following the collision, the Ford crashed into an embankment, rolled, and collided with a guardrail," reads the release. "Moran Hernandez was partially ejected from the truck and pronounced dead on scene."

Police said the investigation into the case remains ongoing and "may take several weeks to months to complete."

Anyone with knowledge of the collision is urged to contact the Collision Reconstruction Unit at (240) 773-6620.
