Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash Saturday morning in Carroll County.<\/p>
The crash happened shortly after 2 a.m. on Maryland Route 97 near Humbert Schoolhouse Road. A 2016 GMC Canyon traveling northbound crossed the center line for unknown reasons and collided head-on with a 2011 Ford E-350 van, according to a preliminary investigation.<\/p>
The driver of the Ford van, who has not yet been identified pending notification of next of kin, was pronounced dead at the scene by Carroll County emergency medical personnel. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle, state police said.<\/p>
The GMC Canyon driver, identified as 36-year-old Christopher Wolf of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, was transported to York Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash. Wolf was the sole occupant of the vehicle and his condition was not disclosed.<\/p>
Authorities say charges are pending the outcome of the investigation as the cause of the crash remains under review.<\/p>
The Maryland State Police Crash Team responded to assist with the investigation.<\/p>
