TEEN DRIVER FOUND DEAD IN CRASH
(Towson, MD) - Maryland State Police are continuing their investigation into a single vehicle crash claiming the life of a teenager today.
The deceased is identified as Kwest T. Logan, 17, of the 200-block of Lord Byron Lane in Cockeysville, Maryland. At this time, police believe he was the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
Around 10:00 a.m. this morning, troopers from the Golden Ring Barracks responded to a report of a possible vehicle
buried in the woods off of the I-83 South exit ramp, which merges onto the outer loop of the beltway. The phone call came from a motorist in slow moving traffic, when he noticed light reflecting off of what appeared to be the chrome bumper of a car.
The preliminary investigation indicates Logan was driving a 1997 black Nissan Maxima on southbound I-83 when he took the exit for I-695 West and left the roadway. Investigators believe the vehicle drove deep into the woods
and hit a tree where it came to rest, about 75 feet off the roadway, causing the black car to be virtually invisible from the road. It is believed that Logan was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
At about 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 27, 2009, Logan and the vehicle he was driving were reported as missing. The Baltimore County Police Department received the phone call from his mother.
The cause of death is under investigation and has not yet been determined. The body will be transported to the Office of the State’s Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.
The left lane of the exit ramp merging from I-83 South onto I-695 West was closed at approximately 10:45 a.m. and will remain closed until approximately 1:45 p.m. today. Personnel from the Maryland State Police CRASH Team, State Highway Administration, Baltimore County Police Department and Texas Station #17 of the Baltimore County Fire Department responded to assist with the incident.
