A person was killed and two others injured in a crash in Frederick County, Maryland, according to Frederick County Fire and Rescue.
WUSA9 reports a garbage truck reportedly slid off the road during the accident.
An initial investigation by the Frederick County Sheriffs Office (FCSO) indicates the driver and two passengers of the Ecology Services Recycle Disposal Co. were working their route and traveling westbound on Ira Sears Road.
The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle on the ice- and snow-covered roadway, according to FCSO. The truck slid off the road and overturned. The driver and passenger suffered minor injuries and Emergency Medical Services personnel treated and released them on scene.
Mark Steven Williams, age 64, of Frederick, was riding on the back of the truck at the time of the incident and was pinned under the overturned vehicle, said FCSO.
The Frederick County Division of Fire & Rescue Services (DFRS) personnel pronounced Williams dead at the scene of the crash.
FCSO still is actively investigating this crash.
