Semi-Truck Crash in Frederick County Results in Death

Incident Information

Tragedy struck the quiet town of Frederick County as a deadly car crash claimed the life of 50-year-old Emily Arnoult on Thursday morning. Emergency services were on the scene within minutes of receiving reports of the accident on the I-70 near Hollow Road, but it was too late to save the victim.

The accident left several eastbound lanes closed for a brief period of time. According to police reports, the victim, Arnoult, collided with the rear of a tractor-trailer while driving her SUV. While first responders quickly transported Arnoult to the nearby Frederick Health facility, tragically, she was pronounced dead upon arrival. The driver of the tractor-trailer, however, was lucky enough to escape the incident with no injuries. In the aftermath of the crash, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration assisted with road closures to help ease the flow of traffic.

The Maryland State Police are currently conducting an investigation to unravel the mystery behind the accident.  Authorities are leaving no stone unturned as they try to determine the root cause and investigators are scrutinizing various aspects of the incident, including the state of the road, the condition of the vehicle involved, and the events leading up to the crash. While the details are scarce, the investigators are placing all their efforts into understanding what really caused the accident. The community is eagerly waiting for updates that will shed light on the situation to bring closure to those affected by the incident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.
