Baltimore County Police responded to a crash on Silver Spring Road near Winding Way in Perry Hall just before 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18. Crash investigators were able to determine that a Dodge Ram truck was traveling east on Silver Spring Road when the vehicle struck a concrete wall at the dead end of the roadway.
The White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company reported that the vehicle crashed through the I-95 sound barrier wall at the end of Silver Spring Road near Silver Lake Drive. The vehicle was fully involved in fire as emergency crews were on the scene at both the end of Silver Spring Rd and on southbound I-95.
The driver was pronounced deceased by medical personnel shortly afterwards but was not identified at this time. The passenger of the truck was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
There is no access to I-95 from Silver Spring Road but there is speculation that the driver was not aware of this and might have tried to access the Interstate. More information will be provided as the crash investigation moves forward.
