HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police say a woman has died after a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 40 in Hagerstown.
It happened about 1:35 p.m. Friday in front of Greenbrier State Park. Troopers say a car driven by Cheron Leighton, 34, of Baltimore was traveling out of the park. Police say once out of the driveway, Leighton made a U-turn in front of a truck driven by Carroll Coleman Jr., 55, of Hagerstown.
