Frederick, MD – A vehicle traveling at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour crashed in Frederick early Thursday morning after fleeing a Frederick County Sheriff’s Office deputy, leaving multiple लोगों injured and prompting an active crash reconstruction investigation by the Frederick Police Department.

The incident began around 12:50 a.m. when a Frederick County Sheriff’s Office deputy observed the speeding vehicle on Interstate 70 near the Monocacy River. Due to the extreme speed, the deputy was unable to catch up as the vehicle exited onto Monocacy Boulevard and continued toward East Patrick Street, where it was last seen before disappearing from view.

Crash discovered minutes later

At approximately 12:53 a.m., just minutes after losing sight of the vehicle, the deputy came upon the same vehicle involved in a single-vehicle crash near the roundabout at South East Street. The collision resulted in multiple injuries, though authorities have not released the number of الأشخاص involved or the severity of their conditions.

The Frederick Police Department was requested to respond and has since taken over the crash reconstruction investigation, which will examine factors such as speed, road conditions, and the sequence of events leading up to the collision.

Oversight review declined

The Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General was notified and briefed on the incident, as is standard in cases involving law enforcement proximity to serious crashes. However, the division declined to investigate further at this time.

Key Points
• Vehicle traveling over 100 mph crashed after fleeing deputy in Frederick
• Crash occurred near South East Street roundabout with multiple injuries
• Frederick Police leading reconstruction investigation; AG’s office declined review

Investigation ongoing

Authorities have not released additional details about the occupants of the vehicle or whether charges may be filed. It also remains unclear what prompted the driver to flee at such high speeds.

The case remains under active investigation by the Frederick Police Department, with updates expected as crash reconstruction efforts continue.
