Gaithersburg resident Luis Isaac Bran, 17, and 18-year-old Rebeca Gabriela Vasquez Moreno, of El Salvador, were both killed in Montgomery County in a crash on Friday, June 21 that also left their 50-year-old driver hospitalized with undisclosed injuries.

It is believed that the driver was Bran's mother and Moreno's aunt.

Troopers were called shortly before 5 a.m. on Friday to a stretch of the northbound lanes of the interstate, where there was a fiery three-vehicle crash that left two people trapped inside.

According to investigators, a Toyota RAV4 being driven by the 50-year-old woman was heading north on I-270 near Falls Road when a BMW convertible struck it, causing the multi-vehicle crash.

The BMW then fled the area.

Following the initial contact, the Toyota was then rear-ended again by a Ford pick-up truck. The driver of the F-150 was uninjured and refused medical treatment.

Police say that the BMW was later located abandoned, disabled on the right shoulder approximately half a mile north of the crash site, and investigators are attempting to identify and locate the driver.

The crash led to multiple lane closures for several hours on I-270, though the interstate reopened before noon. It remains under investigation.
