The
Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is working to determine the cause of
a weekend crash that left three occupants dead. The victims are 23-year-old
Grecia Sanchez Cruz of Crelin Street in Lanham and 25-year-old Brenda Merlot
also of Crelin Street. The third deceased victim’s name will be released once
his family is located and notified. Preliminarily, a fourth occupant
suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
On
February 10th, at approximately 3:55 am, patrol officers responded
to single-car crash on Martin Luther King Jr. Highway and Glen Willow Drive.
The
preliminary investigation reveals the car was heading southbound on Martin
Luther King Jr. Highway approaching Glen Willow Drive when for reasons that
remain under investigation, it left the roadway, struck an embankment and
ultimately overturned. Three victims were pronounced dead on the
scene. The fourth victim was transported to a local hospital.
Preliminarily, it does not appear any of the occupants was wearing a seatbelt.
