One Dead and Five Hospitalized After Churchville Road Collison

Incident Information

CHURCHVILLE, MD — A 33-year-old man from Havre de Grace died Monday morning in a three-vehicle crash on Churchville Road in Harford County, according to Maryland State Police.

Troopers responded shortly after 10 a.m. to the scene of the collision on eastbound Churchville Road (MD-22), just west of N. Stepney Road.

Authorities say the crash occurred when a westbound Chevrolet Traverse, driven by Tyler Lingenfelter, 33, crossed the center line and collided with a box truck. The force of the impact pushed the box truck into a Ford Transit van.

Lingenfelter was pronounced dead at the scene. Three juveniles who were passengers in the Traverse were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. The driver of the box truck, a 55-year-old man, and his 44-year-old female passenger were also hospitalized, along with the 62-year-old man driving the Transit van.

The Maryland State Police Crash Team is continuing to investigate the incident.

What To Do After a Car Accident in Maryland

If you’re involved in a car accident in Maryland, taking the right steps immediately afterward is essential for both your safety and your legal rights.

Start by moving to a safe location—if you’re physically able—and check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is hurt or the crash caused significant damage, call 911 right away. If medical personnel arrive on scene and recommend treatment, it’s important to accept care, even if injuries seem minor at first.

While at the scene, avoid discussing who was at fault, admitting liability, or speaking with insurance representatives until you’ve consulted a Maryland car accident attorney. An experienced lawyer can guide you through the legal process, help protect your rights, and work to ensure your claim is valued fairly.
