State Health Secretary Joshua Sharfstein said Monday that the medical examiner had confirmed the crash is related to the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Sharfstein says the person was killed after a car skidded on a wet road.

County police reported earlier Monday that there had been a fatal crash in Germantown, but could not attribute it to the storm.

The accident occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m. at Frederick Road and Brink Road. Police say a Nissan driven by 19-year-old Joshua Jose Munoz of Germantown was traveling south on Frederick road. Officers say the Nissan crossed the center line and hit a Jaguar driven by 66-year-old Mai Ai Lam-Phan of Clarksburg.

Lam-Phan was pronounced dead at the scene. Munoz and a passenger, 16-year-old Caleb Emiliano Munoz of Germantown, were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sharfstein, citing health confidentiality rules, declined to say whether that was the storm-related crash.
