One Hospitalized After Car Crashes into Tree

A car crashed into a tree on Forest Brook Road in Germantown at about 12:50 p.m. today, leaving one person in the hospital. It is still unclear what caused the single-car collision.

Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service (MCFRS) arrived at the scene soon after the crash, where the patient was pinned and suffering from severe trauma. MCFRS removed the patient from the vehicle and transported them to a hospital this afternoon.
