Reports are saying the road is closed now so anyone traveling that way is going to sit for awhile. SMNEWSNET has some photos on their FB feed. Very bad crash and prayers to all involved.

It is on Route 4 about a mile past the bridge in St. Mary's but traffic is at a stop and traffic is backed up for miles past the bridge into Calvert.

Unable to determine what kind of vehicle riding by, not much left, vehicle up on the embankment across the road. Hard to tell how the vehicle received so much damage, hopefully injuries are limited...

I would not have been able to pull that from a driveby, only by staring at a short while, and being pretty familiar with the Chargers front end. I was also wondering about the amount of damage. That seems much more like 2am levels of damage so to speak, not 7am heading to work. Maybe just left the road, caught a wheel wrong and tumbled?

SMNEWSNET has a little more information.

Crews arrived on the scene to find two vehicles involved in a head-on style collision, with both vehicles off the roadway and the single occupants/operators of both vehicles trapped.

The operator of the Hyundai Sonata was conscious alert and talking to firefighters reporting she could not open the driver door. Firefighters cut the driver door off and extricated her in under 5 minutes.

The operator of the Dodge Charger was conscious alert and talking, advising he was trapped in the vehicle, with his lower extremities pinned under the dashboard. Firefighters removed all doors and the roof to access the victim and then performed a “dash-roll” to free him.

Extrication was completed in under 25 minutes.

The driver of the Charger was transported to an area trauma center by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver on the Hyundai was transported to an area hospital in Calvert County.

the poor dad
which brings up another discussion which should probably start a new thread. I've said it before - too much productivity is lost in this county when there is an accident, any type of accident, because the first thing that Fire & Rescue and LEO want to do is shut down the road COMPLETELY!

We talk a lot about policies and failures of the state of California, but one thing I learned when traveling around the state 2 weeks ago is that they do what ever it takes to keep traffic moving (yes I understand they have a lot of traffic but it's all relative IMO). Accidents are pushed to the side of the road and traffic keeps moving the best it can. Google, FB, Apple - they need their employees being productive. Not sure if that's part of the reason that California tries to keep it's traffic moving, but I think we need to steal a page from them when it comes to accident clean up.

Or is it we don't care because a large part of our workforce is taxpayer funded? Either way, the trickle down effect of closing the road for any type of accident should be avoided as much as possible.
