OXON HILL, Md. (AP) – Authorities say three children have died and two adults have been injured in a multi-car crash in the Maryland suburbs of Washington.
Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady says three vehicles crashed in Oxon Hill on Sunday night.
Brady says three children in one vehicle suffered fatal injuries. News outlets report two adults who were trapped in a car were taken to the hospital in serious, but non-life-threatening condition. Authorities did not immediately release the ages or identities of the victims.
Brady tweeted , “There are no words to describe this crash except to say it is a tragedy.”
Prince George’s County Police confirmed early Monday that the driver of a pickup truck involved in the crash is in custody under suspicion of drunk driving.
