Charges Pending In 6-Vehicle Carroll County Crash: State Police

WESTMINSTER, MD — Alcohol may have had a role in a six-vehicle crash near Westminster during Monday morning's rush hour, Maryland State Police say. The pileup began when a 2005 Ford pickup truck driven by Todd Selby, 45, of Westminster collided head-on with a dump truck, causing a chain-reaction series of accidents. Selby was flown to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center for treatment.

The second person injured in the collision was Lance Brobosky, 59, of Finksburg, who was taken to Carroll General Hospital for medical treatment. He was driving a 2009 Honda SUV.

The other drivers involved are:

• Daniel Kurnik, 38, of York, Pennsylvania, who was driving a 2018 Kenilworth dump truck.
• Joanna Harmon, 60, of Finksburg, was driving a 2014 Volkswagen.
• Andrew Fisher, 21, of Finksburg was driving a 2015 Ford truck.
• David Grahl, 52, Linthicum Heights was driving a 2014 Ford work van. His passenger was Charles Ludwig, III, 43, of Westminster.

Investigators say Selby was westbound on Route 140 east of Old Westminster Pike when he reportedly crossed the double yellow line and struck the dump truck head on. That caused the four vehicles behind the dump truck to crash. Authorities say the six vehicles were scattered across the lanes of Route 140, in both directions.

No charges have been placed at this time, but are pending, police say. Troopers believe Selby may have been driving under the influence, and will consult with the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office about charges once the investigation is done.
