College Park Woman Killed In Howard County Crash: Police

COLUMBIA, MD — A College Park woman died early Sunday morning after a single-vehicle crash in Howard County, according to police. Officials said the woman hit a pole while driving on MD 175.

Elysse Camacho, 24, of College Park, was headed east on Route 175 when her car left the road and hit a traffic light pole as she approached Tamar Drive in Columbia, according to officials.

Camacho was the only person inside the 2011 Honda Element at the time of the crash, which occurred around 1:59 a.m., police said.
