PHOTOS: Car Hits Another Car, Flips, Lands in Yard

Fire spokesman: Derwood incident was one of several around the county early Saturday.

 

A driver lost control of the car he was driving and flipped on top of a parked car in a driveway in Derwood about 2 a.m. Saturday morning, according to an eyewitness who captured photos of the aftermath of the accident.

The crash occurred at Muncaster Mill Road and Heatherford Court.

A county fire and rescue spokesman confirmed that a vehicle overturned at the intersection, but had few other details.

The incident was one of several accidents around the county in the early morning hours of Saturday, said Assistant Chief Scott Graham of the county fire and rescue service.

Gretchen Kingan, who lives near the scene of the incident, took the photos above and sent the following email to Rockville Patch:

Driver lost control of car flew into and landed on top of parked new car (red) -  force of motion kept it moving out of driveway and the driver's car flipped into rock garden --  Driver said his name was Cody, moved his left arm- which was bloody--and after about 30 mins EMTs were able to remove him from the car--  it appeared the seatbelt was on from our perspective.  The rescue workers had to use blocks and hoses to manuever car-- cutting into it--etc.

That's all we really know. 

Six hours later a woman lost control of her car in the same spot but flew left across from Heatherford Ct and into a street sign-- Single car accident.  Her airbags deployed, windshield was smashed (by sign) and she narrowly missed the telephone pole near the Catholic church St. Francis...She also went by ambulance from the scene about 8 AM. 

DEAR ME!!   SLOW DOWN AND BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Twinbrook Swimming Pool (TSP) can hold three public open house days to introduce the pool toRead More perspective members. This year the dates are June 8, July 13 and August 10. The cost is $5 per person. The TSP has a big insurance policy to cover swimmers. Not sure free is appropriate. As a private membership pool, there are regulations that must be followed.

Does either county or city pool offer free trial periods? I don't think so.

If you swim on the 3 open public swim days at the Twinbrook Swimming Pool, you can consider it aRead More trial. Liability insurance does cost money. Entrance of $5 is a real bargain. Members pay to maintain the pool.

I am so sorry this happened to your girls! There is no excuse for the theater personnel notRead More helping. I hope you get an apology from management. Perhaps the city police should have an officer in the area after the last movie.

Yaaaay! Lets put it on the police again. Good thinking the Deb. How about Kate gets her daughter aRead More chaperone. Ask 2 people and then a movie theatre employee and then walk home? That story sounds really fishy. I don't believe the world is in as bad a shape as Kate purports.

I think more facts are necessary here. When you didn't hear from them you didn't go to theater toRead More find them? It is hard to know where blame lies here, not knowing how old these girls are. It sounds like your daughter and god daughter don't have their own phones? No matter my children's age, I make it a point to know the running times of the movies they're at, especially if I am the one who is going to be picking them up. We warn children--especially girls and young women--not to go to strangers for help. We know that of the three girls, the man kidnapped one who was his daughter's friend after giving her a lift.
