Police said a single-vehicle collision on I-495 in Montgomery County killed a Virginia teen on Tuesday.
Tera King, 18, of Woodbridge, Va., was pronounced dead at the scene by Montgomery County emergency medical personnel, per a release from Maryland State Police (MSP).
King was the driver of the car, police said. A 20-year-old male was the only passenger, and he was taken to a hospital for his injuries.
Around 5 a.m. Tuesday, MSP troopers responded to the eastbound I-495 area before the route 355 exit for a reported crash with injuries. Police said occupants in a Chevrolet Cobalt traveled off the right side of the road for unknown reasons, and struck an embankment and tree.
The cause remains under investigation, police said.
