The Herald-Mail reports that a Frederick, Md., woman was killed Monday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on U.S. 40 near Church Hill Road, according to Maryland State Police.
Tammy Marie Jessee, 51, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Jessee was driving a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser east on Md. 40 about 4 p.m. when she stopped to turn left into a driveway, police said in a news release.
A 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 driven by Carl Buell, 48, of Myersville, struck the rear of Jessee’s car, which went into the westbound lane and struck a 2005 Freightliner Classic XC tractor-trailer, police said.
The tractor-trailer was driven by Edward Deputy Jr., 42, of Bedford, Pa., police said.
The road was closed for several hours while police investigated the crash and troopers were assisted by the Maryland State’s Attorneys’ Office, among other officials.
