From Maryland State Police:
On Tuesday, September 19th at approximately 3:05 pm, troopers from the Bel Air Barrack responded to a motor vehicle collision on Mountain Road (Rt. 152) near Stratford Drive in Fallston.
Through their investigation and witness accounts, troopers found that a Ford F-250 pick-up truck was travelling north on Mountain Road in the area of the Reckord Road Park. For unknown reasons, the truck traveled onto the shoulder and then off the roadway. The truck continued travelling north along Mountain Road in the grass drainage area when it struck an Infiniti SUV which was stopped in a driveway preparing to turn onto Mountain Road.
The driver of the Ford F-250, who was identified as Jeffrey Vande-Ryt, 48, of Columbia, MD, was not wearing his seatbelt and was partially ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. The operator of the Infiniti SUV, Martina Rambal, 39, of Baltimore, was transported to University of Maryland Shock Trauma by Maryland State Police helicopter.
Mountain Road was closed for approximately three hours.
No seat belt?
Distracted driver, next case
This sounds like he was in medical distress. What a shame.
More likely if he didn’t care about seatbelt laws distracted driving laws weren’t a concern either.
Who cares?
I drive by that opioid addiction treatment office on brass Mill road often in the morning.
I’ve seen it 3 times in about 6 months. Someone in a vehicle driving out of the parking lot will stop at Route 7 (stop sign) and nearly get into a crash with perpendicular flowing traffic
Just recently,.some guy in an older car with a damaged front end pulled out from the parking lot, stopped at the stop sign then just floored it with minimal room betweem to make a left hand turn across two lanes of Route 7, nearly getting into a collision. Innocent people were bearing down on the brakes hard.
You think these people are driving around sober?
4th Due Rescue, huh? Keep it up, we’ll have “Surge Fire/Rescue Apparatus” to augment the “Surge Ambulances” sooner or later.
Yeah, before you type out what I know you’re going to type out, I’m severely out of shape, and overweight, that type of physical shape is too much of a danger for the requirements in my opinion, even though I’m sure there are plenty of people worse shape than I am in our Volunteer Fire Companies.
