Authorities say an 18-year-old female student is dead after a crash in Prince George's County that happened about a mile away from her Upper Marlboro high school.
Police say her boyfriend was driving the car and tried to pass a car on the right. They clipped a landscaping truck and trailer in the right lane.
The 18-year-old male driver is in stable condition at a local hospital.
On Wednesday, there was another crash just up the road at Brooke Lane where two cars collided and one car ended up on its hood. One person was hurt in the collision.
Police have not confirmed whether speed was a factor in either of the crashes.
Residents tell FOX 5 they're concerned and since officials rebuilt the road, people drive on it faster than they should.
