Authorities said that at approximately 12:30 a.m., a blue 2022 Honda Civic was traveling in the left southbound lane of Dupont Parkway, approaching the intersection with Harris Road. At the same time, a black 2015 Jeep Wrangler was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of Dupont Parkway, in the Honda’s path of travel.

The driver of the Jeep, a 28-year-old woman from Massey, Maryland, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital for critical injuries.
The roadway was closed for approximately four hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
