A seven-year old girl was killed Sunday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on Route 210 in Bryans Road. According to the Maryland State Police La Plata Barrack the girl was a passenger in a car that was involved in the accident.

A southbound Chevy Tahoe driven by Jackson Tull, 73, of Fort Washington apparently crossed into the median and struck the left passenger side of a northbound Chevy Trailblazer driven by William Green, 60, of Indian Head. The Trailblazer then sideswiped a northbound Nissan Altima driven by Marquetta McGee, 36, of Waldorf. The deceased girl was a passenger in the McKee car. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

McGee was transported to PG Shock Trauma Center by an MSP helicopter. Her condition was reportedly life threatening. An unknown passenger in Green’s SUV was transported by ambulance to Fort Washington Hospital.  Tull received non-life-threatening injuries and Green was not injured.

According to the initial police report alcohol was a contributing factor.  The MSP Crash Team was contacted and responded to the scene. Trooper D. Ellington was the investigating officer. The mishap occurred at 3:21 p.m. at the Lewis Place intersection
