Two Marriotts Ridge High School students and an Ellicott City man were transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center Wednesday after a head-on collision at the intersection of routes 32 and 99, in Marriottsville, police said.

The collision occurred at 7:15 a.m. when a Chevrolet Suburban driven by a 17-year-old girl struck a 2009 Honda Accord as the girl attempted to make a left turn from southbound Route 32 onto eastbound Route 99, police spokeswoman Elizabeth Schroen said.

The sole occupant of the Honda Accord, which was traveling north on Route 32, was driver Patrick Anthony Crehan, 22, of Ellicott City, Schroen said. The Suburban had a 15-year-old boy as a passenger, she said.

Both occupants of the Suburban are residents of Sykesville and students of Marriotts Ridge High School, Schroen said. She declined to name the students, citing an ongoing an investigation.

The students and Crehan were transported by ambulance to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore and were listed in stable condition Wednesday afternoon, Schroen said.

Northbound Route 32 at the intersection with Route 99 was closed until 8:45 a.m. as a result of the collision, Schroen said. No charges had been filed as of Wednesday, police said. The investigation is ongoing.
