Charles County Sheriff's officers responded to the 15,000 block of Poplar Hill Road just after 7:00 a.m., where they discovered three teenagers inside a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. Investigators say the car's front passenger, Stephanie Weir, was killed in the crash after the driver lost control of the car and skidded sideways into a tree.
Speed and driver inexperience appear to be factors in the crash, according to investigators.
The driver and another passenger were flown by a Maryland State Police helicopter to Prince George's Hospital Center 's Shock Trauma Unit.
Weir was from Brandywine and was in 10th grade at Thomas Stone High School.The driver, a 17-year-old girl in 12th grade at Thomas Stone High School, is in critical condition. While the other injured passenger, a 16-year-old boy in 11th grade at North Point High School, is in good condition. They both also live in the Charles County area of Brandywine. Their names are not being released because they are juveniles.
Authorities closed a portion of Poplar Hill Road during the investigation.
