The three others involved in the crash were Shawn Gill, 46, of Gaithersburg, Mark Tew, 27, of Hanover, and Richard Aldar, 53, of Sykesville.

Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.
All four vehicles were traveling westbound on I-70 at the ramp from northbound I-270 in Frederick.

A second dump truck, driven by Tew, stopped and Jackson, the driver of the Nissan Rogue. The third dump truck, driven by Gill, slammed into the rear of the Nissan, causing all four vehicles to collide into one another, causing an explosion.
Two of the dump trucks and the Nissan Rogue became engulfed in flames. The third dump truck sustained minimal fire damage.
