A 2007 Toyota Rav 4 operated by Sandra Louise Birch, 41, of Ridge, was traveling northbound and struck Murphy. Murphy sustained life threatening injuries and was transported to Prince Georgeโ€™s Hospital Center by ambulance. The Maryland State Police Helicopter was unable to transport due to weather. No other injuries were reported.ย  At this time alcohol, drugs, and speed do not appear to be factors in the collision.
