KINGSVILLE, MD—Two people are now confirmed dead following a high-speed, wrong-way crash on Belair Road.

The crash occurred at around 12:15 a.m. Friday night/Saturday morning in the area of Belair Road at Sheradale Drive.

The Kingsville Volunteer Fire Company reports that a car was traveling north in the southbound lanes of Belair Road at speeds in excess of 100 MPH.  The vehicle struck another vehicle head-on and multiple people were trapped.

Units arrived and began working to free the trapped victims.

The two drivers, one of whom was an Uber driver, have both died.  Both of the other patients, the Uber driver’s passengers, remain in critical condition.

Sources tell NottinghamMD.com that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
