Heavy fog caused complications in transporting the 52-year-old woman so a Maryland State Police helicopter was forced to fly to MedStar Washington Hospital Trauma Center in Washington, DC, Rostek said.

The 17-year-old was taken to Prince George’s Trauma Center and the three who received minor injuries were taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center, Rostek said.
