BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland State Police have identified the driver killed in a fiery crash on I-695 last month that also claimed the lives of two young girls.
Devin Frink, 36, of Baltimore, was pronounced dead at the scene of the April 5, 2025 crash, along with two 9-year-old girls from Towson, police said on Wednesday.
The girls’ identities are not being released, but police confirmed Frink was the uncle of one of them.
The crash occurred at just after 11 p.m. when a trooper with the Maryland State Police Traffic Incident Management Division was conducting a traffic stop on Frink’s Jeep Wrangler on the inner loop of I-695 at Greenspring Avenue.
The trooper did not pursue Frink’s vehicle after he sped off from the traffic stop, according to police. He deactivated his emergency lights and re-entered traffic.
About three minutes later, the trooper came upon the Jeep fully engulfed in flames in the grass area of the I-695 ramp to southbound I-83.
Investigators believe Frink was attempting to exit onto the ramp for southbound I-83 when he lost control of the Jeep, hit an embankment and a tree, and then the vehicle caught fire.
The Maryland State Police continue investigate the crash.
