UPDATE: Police identify bodies in Talbot Co. crash

Mangled metal and debris are what’s left of three tractor trailers involved in a Tuesday morning crash that left three people dead in Talbot County.

Sgt. Black with Maryland State Police tells 47 ABC, around 7:00 AM Tuesday morning, a tractor trailer traveling Westbound on Route 404 in Talbot County crossed over into the Eastbound lane, side swiping another tractor trailer. The truck traveling Westbound reportedly kept driving until it hit another tractor trailer head on in the Eastbound lane, causing it to burst into flames.

Sgt. Black says, “When those two collided based on the force of the collision, I believe the one vehicle that was carrying lumber burst into flames and the driver was caught in there.”

The driver of that truck along with a man and a woman in the Westbound truck were pronounced dead. Reports say the man in the truck that got side swiped was uninjured in the incident.

Police have identified the deceased 38-year-old Brian Hutcheson of Tennessee, his passenger as 24-year old Danielle Mumford of Delmar, Delaware, and the driver of the other tractor trailer as 52-year old Terry Coward of Culpepper, Virginia.
