(KEYMAR, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal single-vehicle crash that claimed the life of a six-month-old infant this morning in Frederick County.

A six-month old infant was flown by Maryland State Police Helicopter to Johns Hopkins Children Center, where he was later pronounced deceased. Two additional occupants in a Dodge Durango, a 3-year-boy and a 26-year-old female, were transported by ambulance to The Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment of their injuries. The driver was reported uninjured.

Around 10:53 a.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police Frederick Barrack responded to the 12000 residential-block of Woodsboro Pike (Maryland 194) for a report of a single-vehicle crash. According to a preliminary investigation, the Dodge was traveling north, when for unknown reasons, struck a telephone pole and subsequently a residence. The residence was unoccupied at the time of the crash. Police do not believe impairment was a factor in this crash.
