Three Crashes in 11 Hours Kill Three Motorists
Three people died after separate vehicle crashes over 11 hours in Anne Arundel County, police said yesterday.
Police responded to the first crash at 12:17 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a call about a truck striking a house on Riviera Drive in Pasadena, according to a statement. The driver, William Richard Romansky, 65, of Pasadena, suffered "a medical emergency causing him to lose control" of the vehicle and later died at Baltimore Washington Medical Center of "an unknown medical condition," the statement said.
Lisa Ann Madej, 40, of Pasadena died at Baltimore Washington Medical Center after the car she was driving struck a tree off Creek Road later Wednesday afternoon, police said. Police said that neighbors "heard a loud crashing noise" about 4 p.m. but that the car wasn't found for about an hour.
Amy Michelle Ross, 17, of Stevensville, Md., died at Anne Arundel Medical Center after the car she was driving south on Generals Highway in Crownsville struck an oncoming tractor-trailer at 10:48 p.m., police said. Police said the truck driver, Susan Marie Oldendick, 36, of Edgewood, had steered the vehicle to the side of the road to try to avoid the car. She suffered minor injuries.

A La Plata pedestrian was killed early yesterday when he was hit by a vehicle while attempting to cross Route 301, the town's main commercial corridor, authorities said.
James M. Williams, 51, was struck as he tried to cross in the 6300 block of the highway about 1 a.m. yesterday, said Kristen Timko, a spokeswoman for the Charles County Sheriff's Office. Williams was taken by helicopter to Prince George's Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead.
