From the Capital-Gazette:
A Lothian man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening
injuries Tuesday after he crashed his car into a tree in Davidsonville, Anne
Arundel County emergency services officials said.
Firefighters and police responded to a single-vehicle crash on
Riva Road near Beards Point Road at 7:17 p.m.
Anne Arundel police said Christopher Lawrence Austell, 55,
crashed his 2013 Volkswagen Passat into a tree off the roadway while he was
driving southbound on Riva Road.
Austell was trapped in the car following the crash, an Anne
Arundel County Fire Department spokesman said. It took emergency responders
about 15 minutes to free him from the vehicle.
Austell was flown by helicopter to the University of
Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with possibly life-threatening
injuries.
Police said in a statement “alcohol is believed to be a
contributing factor” to the crash. The department’s Traffic Safety Section is
investigating the incident for potential charges.
