Officers were called to the scene on Telegraph Road at Norcross Lane in Severn around 5 p.m. on Monday, April 21, for a reported head-on collision between a Ford Expedition and a Lexus RX, according to police.
Responding officers from the Anne Arundel County Police Department arrived to find both vehicles with major front-end damage and the drivers trapped inside.
Fire crews extricated both drivers.
The driver of the Lexus — identified as James Thomas Sims, of Upper Marlboro — was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 19-year-old woman behind the wheel of the Ford Expedition was flown to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma in Baltimore in critical but stable condition.
Three children in her vehicle — a 7-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl, and a 3-year-old boy — were taken by ground to Johns Hopkins Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The crash remains under investigation by the department’s Crash Reconstruction Team.
