WAYNE COUNTY — A mother lost one of her unborn twins during an emergency cesarean section following a head-on crash over the weekend in Wayne County.
The crash was reported around 12:30 p.m. Saturday in the 17000 block of Lamar Road, about five miles north of Hagerstown.
The mother, 24, of Hagerstown, was taken to a hospital for an emergency C-section to deliver the twins and get treatment for other injuries, Sheriff Randy Retter said in a press release. One of the newborns didn't survive.
She was nine months pregnant, Retter said.
An investigation found a 44-year-old driver, of Indianapolis, moved left of center for a homeowner mowing their yard near a hill crest and crashed head-on into the mother, Retter said. The driver from Indianapolis was also taken to a hospital with injuries from the crash.
Retter said the condition of the mother, second newborn twin and the other driver are unknown as of Monday morning.
