Police say a car took off from a traffic stop on I-695 in Baltimore County on Saturday night, killing a 36-year-old man and two 9-year-old girls in a fiery crash.
State police say that at 11:05 p.m., an officer pulled over a Jeep near Greenspring Avenue on I-695, but the driver quickly drove off. Off the I-83 ramp, the policeman found the car completely on fire. He didn’t chase it and turned off his emergency lights.
Police think the Jeep lost control and hit a slope and then a tree. It then caught fire after getting off the ramp. The car’s driver and two passengers were all declared dead.
