Maryland State Police said troopers were called to northbound I-95 at the 44-mile marker just before 4:30 a.m. for a crash in Elkridge.
An initial investigation revealed that the driver of a 2025 Jeep Gladiator, Taleb Ait Zakariae, 37, of Rosedale, was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes before crashing into a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by Timothy Summerville Jr., 47, of Baltimore, traveling northbound.
Troopers said both Zakariae and Timothy Summerville Jr. died at the scene. Police said “alcohol and speed may have contributed to the crash.”
All northbound lanes of I-95 at the 44-mile marker, just north of Route 100, were closed for the crash investigation, police told WTOP, before opening at 10:30 a.m.
The investigation is active and ongoing.
