3-Car White Oak Crash Kills Colesville Driver: Police

SILVER SPRING, MD — An elderly Colesville man died Tuesday from injuries he suffered in a crash when he turned in front of a van on Columbia Pike in the White Oak area, officials say. The fatal collision happened about 11:20 a.m. at the intersection of Columbia Pike (Route 29) and Stewart Lane.

Montgomery County Police investigators say a 2016 Honda Fit was turning left from southbound Columbia Pike onto eastbound Stewart Lane as a 2014 Ford E-Series van was northbound on Columbia Pike approaching Stewart Lane.

The driver of the Honda, Mauro Juan Loli, 83, of Ivywood Lane in Colesville, was taken to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Rohan Wayne Bryan, 46, of Apple Road in Northeast, Washington, D.C., who drove the van, was not hurt in the collision. Police say the driver of the Toyota, Yohnnes Birru Ayele, 42, of Old Columbia Pike in Silver Spring, was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
