VALLEY LEE, Md. — One person was flown to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries Thursday afternoon after a two-vehicle crash in Valley Lee that sent two others to hospitals by ground.
The crash was reported at approximately 3:58 p.m. on July 10, 2026, in the area of Piney Point Road and Drayden Road.
Initial emergency dispatch information reported two vehicles involved, with possible entrapment and a possible fire. Crews arrived to find one occupant heavily trapped and unconscious. No fire was found.
Firefighters worked to extricate the trapped occupant while EMS evaluated the patient. A medevac helicopter was requested due to critical, life-threatening injuries.
A landing zone was established near the old Second District Volunteer Fire Department on Drayden Road. Maryland State Police Aviation Command Trooper 7 responded and flew the patient to MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
Two additional patients were transported by ground. One was taken to UM Capital Region Medical Center, and another was taken to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital.
Piney Point Road was shut down at Drayden Road, and drivers were told to expect extended delays while crews remained on the scene.
Police are investigating the crash.

Don’t know what happened, but have seen speeding in that area. Now its time to move the speed camera from St. Andrew’s rd to this location. Give drivers fair notice that stronger action will happen. SMSCO/MSP needs to dedicate some radar control to St. Andrew’s road.
Don’t know what happened but whatever it was I have the solution.
How about waiting until the investigation determines what happened before opining?
Friday afternoon… on the way home after a long week… I would not be surprised if someone fell asleep and crossed the center line and went head on… Speed may have had nothing to do with it. The blind curves in front of the post office and firehouse make that stretch tricky.
Someone was looking out for us though. I went in to the post office to pickup our mail and there was no accident. I came back out a minute later and it had happened. Timing is everything.
Smartphone is the first thing that comes to mind.
Lumpkins boy was drunk and speeding.
It has been determined.
