Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff
A serious motor vehicle accident at the intersection of
Route 140 and Englar Road snarled traffic for several hours Saturday evening
just outside of Westminster.
On Sat., April 21, 2018, at approximately 8:30 in the
evening, units from the Westminster Fire Department, Westminster City Police,
and the Maryland State Police responded to a call for a two-vehicle head-on
vehicle collision at the intersection of Englar Road and Route 140 – Baltimore
Blvd.
Emergency units responded quickly to the scene. Upon arrival,
Westminster Fire Department Lt. Guy Garheart found a two-vehicle motor vehicle
accident in the middle of the intersection. A Taneytown police officer on his
way to work had happened upon the scene and was assisting the response.
Although there was significant property damage to both vehicles, fortunately
no-one was injured seriously in the accident. 
And fortunately, no first responders - police officers, EMS
providers or firefighters were hurt. This, in spite of a series of several
serious incidents in which drivers drove around the cones and flares at traffic
control points – and through the accident scene, in order to hasten their
travels - directly endangering the lives of the first responders.
The accident remains under investigation.
