From Maryland State Police:
Maryland State Police are investigating a four-vehicle collision in which a woman died this afternoon in Harford County.
At approximately 12:40 p.m., troopers from the Bel Air Barrack responded to a motor vehicle collision that occurred on East-West Hwy (MD. Rt. 23) and Grafton Shop Road in Forest Hill, Maryland.
According to a preliminary investigation, a blue Subaru Forester, being driven by Georgina Marie Schulz, 27, of Bel Air, Maryland, was traveling east on MD Rt. 23. The roadway is currently under construction and a traffic flagging team was being utilized as traffic was reduced to one lane for both east and west lanes of travel.
Traffic was stopped for the eastbound lanes of travel when Schulz, who was not wearing a seat belt, failed to slow down and subsequently struck the rear of a Toyota Sequoia. The force of the impact caused a chain reaction and caused two additional vehicles to be struck.
Medical personnel from the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and transported Schulz by ambulance to the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at the hospital. The operator of the Toyota was injured and transported by ambulance to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center.
MD Rt. 23 was closed for approximately two hours at the site of the collision while investigators from the Maryland State Police Bel Air Barrack and Crash Team investigated the collision.
The collision remains under investigation.
Major accident from distracted driver but lets focus on important stuff like guns in church.
Probably texting…..still a big issue out there. See it all the time. 🙁
Sheriff Gahler needs to do something about distracted driving, The lives of Harford county drivers are at too big a risk. His inaction needs to end.
How do you stop distracted driving? Literally every traffic light I stop at has people looking down at their smart phones.
Do you want a Police Officer at every intersection in Harford County?
I just saw on two county roads a mobile towable billboard that said something like; “Put down the phone, the road is calling.”
Its nice of you troll but don’t forget there are three other incorporated municipality police agencies, Maryland State Police, Maryland Transportation Authority Police, Natural Resource Police that are all sworn Maryland law enforcement and can enforce “traffic.”
Maybe this young woman had a medical condition. Nowhere in this article does it say she was texting and driving!!! Condolences to the families impacted.
She had a long history of being a driver with little regard for motor vehicle laws. She probably knew deputies by their first names.
Says who?? I looked her up on maryland judiciary and she has zero cases. You must be a real classy person.
Everyone else looked up there too. Apparently you are challenged in your search abilities thanks for sharing.
And thanks I am classy and apparently you are an idiot.
Ash, did you use the correct spelling? She has about 9 entries in MD Case Search. Quite the bad record for a young driver. Sadly, she did not learn her lesson from her many tickets.
I copy and pasted directly from the article her name when i searched. Nothing came up.
do not know the circumstances of this tragedy and sympathies to the family. As far as traffic – speed in Harford County is out of control – try driving the speed limit on any road and you get honks of the horn, illegal passing, etc. etc. and when was the last time you saw a sheriff deputy pull someone over for speeding – not often – maybe the BA bypass once in a while. Why has the Sheriff’s department given up on speed enforcement?
Just saw a guy in a newer Ford Super Duty drive through the solid red turn signal on 24 to Route 40.
I don’t know why? The light at Route 40 is so long that all the people on the previous green turn arrow are still sitting there waiting to get onto Route 40 when the next turn cycle on 24 goes green.
It is a rare occasion that anyone ever sees a deputy with someone pulled over. See marked and unmarked cars nearly every time driving but never giving out tickets.
Last week I was on Jarrettsville rd going the opposite direction was a Harford county pick up truck where the driver was on his phone and there was a passenger in the truck. Bad enough distracted driving but talking on personal phone while working..
It is a shame but I’m glad she didn’t kill anyone else. Had a long driving record and refused to wear a seat belt.
Condolences to the family. To the defense of law enforcement, Sheriff and MSP, I have seen more marked and unmarked cars with drivers pulled over in the last five days than I can remember!
Seriously that isn’t much of a defense but if the last 5 days is all you got it’s better than the usual nothing….
New to this internet thing, Ash? If you would have answered “What is 9 traffic cases and 3 others?” you would have moved on to Final Jeopardy.
