One person is dead and two others injured following a single-vehicle crash that happened last night in Wicomico County. Police identified the driver as 18-year-old Matthew Garcia of Rockville, Maryland. Investigators say Garcia was driving a Honda Civic around 8:41 p.m. on South Division Street near Coulbourn Mill in Fruitland when he failed to stop at a posted stop sign, entered the intersection, and lost control. The vehicle struck a guardrail and came to rest in Coulbourn Mill Pond. Speeding is believed to have been a factor. Garcia was flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a trauma center, where he later died. Two passengers聽 were injured including 18-year-old Andy Fon Koh of Takoma Park, who was flown to a shock trauma center, and 18-year-old Eyuael Zewdie of Washington, D.C., who was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Roads in the area were closed for more than four hours during the investigation. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the ongoing investigation at the request of the Fruitland Police Department.
