I-695 Crash Kills Uncle, Niece, 9-Year-Old: Police

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Troopers on Wednesday identified one of the three victims who died in an April crash after fleeing police.

Authorities said 36-year-old Devin Frink of Baltimore was driving the car that wrecked. He died in the crash, a press release said.

Troopers said the other victims were two 9-year-old girls from Towson, so they are prohibited from releasing their names.

Police said Frink was the uncle of one of the minors who died.

"Investigators from the Maryland State Police Crash Team are actively working to complete the investigation and provide closure to the families," the Maryland State Police said in the release. "Personnel from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division is also providing assistance."

Authorities said the crash happened around 11:05 p.m. on April 5.

The Maryland State Police said a trooper was performing a traffic stop on a Jeep Wrangler on the inner loop of I-695 at Greenspring Avenue in Pikesville when the vehicle took off.

A press release said the trooper did not pursue the vehicle, deactivated his emergency lights and reentered traffic.

The trooper said he spotted the Jeep about three minutes later, fully engulfed in flames in the grass area of the I-695 ramp to southbound I-83 in Timonium.

Police said the Jeep was trying to exit onto the ramp when it lost control for unknown reasons and hit an embankment, then a tree before catching fire.

Medics pronounced the driver and the two passengers dead on the scene, authorities said.
