Police are still on the scene investigating a multivehicle crash that took place in Largo, Maryland, Tuesday night and left one person dead.
The crash took place on the Capital Beltway between Maryland Route 202 and Arena Drive shortly after 11:20 p.m.
According to an on-scene investigation and witness statements, a Nissan Altima was attempting to merge onto southbound 495 from Maryland Route 202 when it struck a commercial street sweeper that was operating in the slow lanes near the ramp.
The Nissan then lost control and veered across all of the southbound lanes, striking a Suzuki motorcycle that was traveling in the fast lane. The Suzuki driver was thrown from the motorcycle, over the jersey wall and into oncoming traffic, where he was struck by two northbound vehicles.
All vehicles involved in the crash remained on the scene. The motorcycle operator was transported to UM Prince George’s Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead.
All lanes of southbound 495 were closed during the initial investigation, but reopened around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. Maryland State police are still investigating the collision.
