A 69-year-old woman was killed after youths driving a stolen vehicle caused a four-vehicle crash in Jessup on Friday afternoon, Howard County police said.
A stolen 2017 Hyundai Sonata was driving east on Guilford Avenue around 3:06 p.m. when it crossed the double yellow lines to speed past a 2021 Tesla Model Y preparing to make a left turn onto Twelve Sons Court, according to the Howard County Police Department.
The Sonata sideswiped the Tesla and a 2010 Honda Fit before crashing head-on with a 2021 Honda Civic.
The driver of the Honda Civic, 69-year-old Bonnie Fuller Griffith of Columbia, was transported to a hospital after the crash and pronounced dead by medical staff.
