Honda Civic Collides with Ford Escape in Rockville Resulting in Death

Incident Information

Tragedy surged through the Rockville community on Sunday morning after two cars collided and caused lane closures for an extended period of time. Montgomery County Police reported the collision between two vehicles near the intersection of Muncaster Mill Road and Sycamore Lane around 7:23 a.m.. Investigators later found that one of the vehicles had veered across the center lane, leading to a devastating crash. Sadly, Eddy Thomas Jara, of Gaithersburg, Maryland—the driver of the black Honda Civic—had passed away as a result of his fatal injuries.

The passengers in the Ford Escape were not so fortunate either; both sustained injuries although early reports clarified that these are non-life threatening. Two lanes in the area have been blocked off for the investigation to take place, but it is unknown how long these lanes will be closed for.
