A Spring Grove man was killed in a three-vehicle crash Friday morning in Maryland.
According to a Maryland State Police statement, Nicholas Standiford, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred around 7:48 a.m. on the Hampstead Bypass, or Maryland Route 30, in Carroll County, Maryland.
Standiford was the driver of a Chevrolet pickup truck that was involved in the crash.
Maryland State Police said a preliminary investigation showed that a Ford pickup truck was traveling south on Maryland Route 30 when, for unknown reasons, it traveled into the northbound lanes, striking a Chevrolet dump truck. That collision caused the dump truck to strike the Chevrolet pickup truck.
A passenger in the Chevrolet dump truck, whose identification is being withheld pending next of kin notification, was pronounced dead after being transported by ambulance to Carroll Hospital Center.
The driver and another passenger in the dump truck and the driver of the Ford pickup truck were flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a hospital for treatment of their injuries. Their conditions were not immediately known.
Lanes on Maryland Route 30 were closed for approximately five hours while the investigation into the crash was being conducted, police said.
Maryland State Police stated that the investigation into the crash is ongoing.
