In Glen Burnie this past weekend, tragedy struck as an 87-year-old Baltimore woman lost her life in a devastating two-car collision, according to law enforcement sources.

The fatal incident occurred at the junction of Ritchie Highway (MD 2) and Mountain Road around 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 1.

Behind the wheel of a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Mamie F.
