Shortly after 11:50 p.m. on Thursday, Maryland State Police troopers were called to the outer loop of I-695 in Woodlawn near Security Boulevard for a reported three-vehicle crash.

Ngeh’s vehicle, the Camry, was in the left lane of the highway with its hazard lights on after becoming inoperable, police said. Tikum pulled in front of the Camry in a Honda HR-V and got out of his vehicle to assist Ngeh, police said.

For “unknown reasons,” Mason-Johnson crashed into the back of the disabled Camry, which crashed into the Honda, which struck Tikum and Ngeh, police said.

Tikum, Ngeh and Mason-Johnson were all taken to a hospital. Tikum was declared dead at the hospital. Maryland State Police did not say how severely Mason-Johnson and Ngeh were injured, or whether they remained hospitalized as of Friday morning.

Officials closed three lanes of I-695 for about 3.5 hours to investigate the crash, police said.
