UPPER MARLBORO — Maryland State Police are investigating a deadly crash in Prince George’s County that killed three people Saturday. One of them being Minnesota Vikings rookie defensive back Khyree Jackson.

Authorities say it happened shortly after 3 a.m. when troopers from the Forestville Barrack were called to a crash on northbound Route 4 at Pennsylvania Avenue and Presidential Parkway.

When authorities arrived, they discovered three cars involved: a silver Infinity Q50, a silver Chevrolet Impala, and a maroon Dodge Charger.

A preliminary investigation suggests that the driver of the silver Infiniti, later identified as Cori Clingman, was traveling northbound on Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue and attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala.

As a result of the crash, the Charger traveled off the right side of the roadway, struck multiple tree stumps, and eventually stopped, according to police.

The report goes on to say three victims, now identified as 23-year-old Isaiah Hazel, 24-year-old Khyree Jackson, and 24-year-old Anthony Lytton Jr., were occupants of a maroon Dodge Charger. Hazel was the driver. Jackson was the front seat passenger, and Lytton was seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Hazel and Jackson were pronounced deceased on the scene by emergency medics. Lytton was taken to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased by hospital personnel.

Clingman had two other passengers in her Infinity at the time of the crash. No one was injured in her vehicle.

The driver of the Chevrolet Impala was also uninjured in the crash, according to police.

Investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor in the crash.

The Minnesota Vikings organization confirmed the identity of Jackson, releasing a statement on X.

Authorities say charges are pending the investigation and consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the investigation.

COCKEYSVILLE, Md. — Decked in Fourth of July garb, Dr. Alexander Dix is the clinical director for KIP Dispensary off York Road in Cockeysville.

“So, this has been a very busy week for us. I think people preparing for the holiday, and realizing we were open on the holiday while a lot of dispensaries were not,” Dr. Dix said.

An operation of about 30 people split between the front and back of the house.

One year ago this July, they began selling adult-use cannabis.

“It’s been amazing. It’s been really great in a lot of different ways. It kind of put pressure on our team to step up and perform and it’s really wonderful to actually see that happen. It’s also been awesome to see so many smiling faces come through the door,” said Dr. Dix.

Green makes a lot of green, and now er have the numbers to prove it.

In the year since cannabis became legal for Marylanders 21 and up: $700 million in adult-use cannabis sales, medical, about $400 million.

Dix sees it continuing here.

“I do expect sales to continue in that upward trajectory. One of the things we did see change recently since a year ago is recreational users can now purchase concentrates – one gram containers. So, that’s one thing that we see change,” Dr. Dix added.

According to the state, Here’s how the tax revenue is broken down:

Half to the state’s general fund, 35% to the state’s community reinvestment and repair fund, benefiting low-income communities hurt by cannabis prohibition.

Focused on the plant’s medical properties – Dix is teaching pharmacy students.

“I have been working with Notre Dame of Maryland University, taking some of their 4th-year pharmacy students for the past year now. And it’s been really awesome to try to bring the cannabis education into the medical education and to really see the enthusiasm and interest in these up and coming professionals,” Dr. Dix said.

As the profit grows, Dix hopes interest in cannabis itself grows too.
