2 Dead In Crash With State Police Cruiser

ST. MICHAELS, Md. (AP) ― Maryland State Police say two people were killed in a crash with a trooper's vehicle in St. Michaels.

Maynard Lowry, 88, of Tilghman was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash Monday.
 
His sister, 87-year-old Alma Lowry, also of Tilghman, died at Easton Memorial Hospital, where she was taken after the crash.

Officials say Trooper First Class Philip Willoughby was responding to a report of a crash and was traveling east on Route 33 in St. Michaels, with the vehicle's emergency lights and siren on, shortly before 3 p.m.

Authorities say as the trooper's vehicle approached a shopping center east of Madison Avenue, a Toyota Cressida driven by Maynard Lowry, pulled from the shopping center and into the path of the cruiser.
 
The trooper's Ford Crown Victoria struck the Toyota on the driver's side.

Willoughby was treated for lacerations and contusions and released from Shock Trauma in Baltimore.

The accident is under investigation.
