EASTON — A man is in critical but stable condition after a three-vehicle crash on Wednesday sent him and another man to the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore for injuries.
Easton Police Department Deputy Chief Greg Wright said on Friday that 66-year-old Stuart Coleman remains in the hospital after Wednesday’s crash. 73-year-old Dushra Ibrahim, of Salisbury, was also airlifted to Shock Trauma but was “shortly released,†Wright said.
The incident took place at the Route 50 and Chapel Road intersection in Easton. The highway was closed in both directions for hours Wednesday afternoon as police investigated the crash and cleared the scene.
According to the preliminary investigation, Coleman was stopped in a left turn lane westbound at Route 50 and Chapel Road early Wednesday afternoon. Coleman, a Town of Easton employee, was driving a town-owned truck.
Ibrahim’s vehicle came at a high rate of speed, striking the back of the truck. The truck was pushed into an SUV that sat in front of it in the turn lane. The driver and passenger of the SUV were possibly injured, Wright said, but did not need to be airlifted to the hospital.
Wright said early investigation doesn’t reveal a reason for the crash. Ibrahim, according to the police report, “did not appear†to “attempt to slow down or brake,†Wright said.
Maryland State Police and the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office assisted Easton police with the investigation, which remains active.
