Woman Killed in Upper Marlboro 4-Vehicle Crash

Prince George's County police say a woman has died after a crash involving four vehicles in Upper Marlboro Thursday afternoon.

Three lanes of northbound Pennsylvania Avenue near Woodward Road were closed due to the crash.

Police told WJLA-TV it appears the four-car pileup was a chain reaction that began with a Chevrolet Silverado rear-ended an Infiniti around 12:45 p.m. The Infiniti in turn rear-ended a third vehicle, which in turn rear-ended a truck that was towing a boat.

Three people were taken to a nearby hospital, including the woman, identified as Nicole Antoinette Watkins-Barnette, who was later pronounced dead.
