NORTH EAST, Md. (WJZ) — Maryland State Police is investigating a multi-vehicle crash that killed two people and injured four others in Cecil County Tuesday morning.
Police say that 28-year-old Kimberly Morgan, of Chester, Pa., was driving on MD 213 at 5:30 a.m., when her white Mitsubishi Galant crossed the double yellow line into oncoming traffic.

The driver of the Galant, Morgan, was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore with life-threatening injuries. Her passenger was taken to Christiana Hospital for her injuries.
The driver of the pick-up truck, 53-year-old Richard Gestewitz, of Charlestown, Md., and his passenger, 70-year-old Charles Sutton, of North East, Md., were pronounced dead at the scene.
The drivers of the Silverado and Cobalt were also hospitalized following the crash.
