On Friday, officials responded to a multiple-vehicle accident in Montgomery County. One man died as a result, Olney police said.

Pete Piringer, the public information officer for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue said there was an entrapment and nearly two-dozen rescue workers were on scene.

Preliminary investigation states the driver of a 2014 Infinity Q50S was traveling north on Georgia Avenue while a 2009 Honda Civic was traveling south on Georgia Avenue. The driver of the Honda Civic attempted to make a left turn onto the ramp of MD 200 eastbound when the two vehicles collided. 

The Honda ultimately struck a 2018 Dodge Challendger and the Infinity struck a 2004 Ford Explorer.

The 25-year-old driver of the Honda was pronounced dead at the scene according to police. He will be identified once his next of kin is notified. 

A front-seat passenger in the Infinity was taken to the hospital and treated for serious non life-threatening injuries.

Police said the drivers in the three other vehicles were uninjured.
