Two people died and three others were hurt after a car crashed into the woods off the Capital Beltway in Prince George’s County on Tuesday afternoon.

Around 12:30 p.m. Maryland State Police responded to the Outer Loop near exit 27 for reports of a single-vehicle crash.

The driver, later identified as 74-year-old Dorothy Skinner, of Beltsville, was behind the wheel of a Ford vehicle before she lost control, leaving the roadway and crashing into the wooded area along the side.

A 14-year-old passenger, identified as Loren Jones, of Hyattsville, was also killed in the crash. Three other people were injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment. Their conditions are unknown at this time.

Westbound lanes of I-495 were closed for two hours following the investigation and have since reopened. Police and other emergency personnel remain on the scene, so motorists should proceed with caution.
