Maryland State Police reported a fatal three-vehicle crash that killed a resident from Parkville in Woodlawn last night.
According to police, a three-vehicle crash was reported in the area of outer loop I-695 near Security Boulevard in Woodlawn around 11:51 p.m. on Dec. 18.
“A Toyota Camry was in the left lane with its hazard lights activated after it became inoperable. The Honda HRV, operated by Tikum, pulled in front of the Camry to assist and both drivers exited their vehicles. For unknown reasons, a short time later, a BMW struck the Toyota Camry,” said a statement from Maryland State Police.
“The impact from the crash pushed the Toyota Camry into the Honda HRV which subsequently struck the drivers of the Camry and HRV who were standing near the vehicles.”
The victim was identified as Faith Tingen Tikum, 28, of Parkville.
Tikum was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced deceased.
The driver of a BMW X3, identified as Mariah Coren Mason-Johnson, 28, and the driver of a Toyota Camry, identified as Pavert Ngeh, 23, were transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
The report also stated that impairment may have been a factor in the accident.
Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation and consultation with the Office of the State’s Attorney in Baltimore County.
The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the active and ongoing investigation.
