Annapolis, MD (August 26, 2026) – Six people were injured on Monday afternoon, August 24, in a four-vehicle crash near 65 Old Solomons Island Road in Annapolis. Reports of the collision surfaced at approximately 4:00 p.m.
The Annapolis Fire Department said four of the injured people were taken to hospitals with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Two others declined treatment at the scene.
The police temporarily closed Old Solomons Island Road between Forest Drive and Somerville Road while investigators examined the scene. Authorities continue investigating what led to the crash.
We hope all six injured people make a full recovery.
How Secondary Impacts Can Worsen Crash Injuries
When four vehicles are involved in the same collision, occupants may experience more than one impact in a short period. One vehicle can also be pushed into another after the initial contact.
Secondary impacts may expose people to forces from different directions, increasing the risk of injuries to the head, neck, chest, back, and limbs.
Travel speed, vehicle position, impact sequence, restraint use, and vehicle size can all influence injury severity. Multi-vehicle crashes can also create a more complex emergency response because several people may need evaluation while damaged vehicles block the roadway.
