This is the third deadly crash in Montgomery County in the last 36 hours.<\/p>\n

One person is dead after a crash on northbound I-270 at Montrose Road in Montgomery County.<\/p>\n

Maryland State Police confirmed that officers responded to a report of a single vehicle crash shortly before 9:30 this morning.<\/p>\n

Police believe a Lexus sedan lost control and for unknown reasons overturned and hit the jersey wall.<\/p>\n

The driver, who was the only person in the car, died on scene.<\/p>\n

This was the third deadly crash in Montgomery County over a 36-hour period.<\/p>\n

Overnight, another fatal car crash<\/a> happened in Bethesda on Glenbrook Road near Bradley Boulevard. The driver died and a passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

And late Friday, a pedestrian died in a hit-and-run crash<\/a> on the outer loop of the Capital Beltway, east of the Connecticut Avenue exit.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the Maryland State Police believe the man was the driver of a work van found parked on the left shoulder of the inner loop. They also believe he had a gas can with him when he was struck.<\/p>\n

Two vehicles struck the man, police said. The driver of the second vehicle remained at the scene, but the first driver fled.<\/p>\n

Police are seeking the public\u2019s assistance in locating the first vehicle, described as a silver or gray sedan with heavy front-end damage.<\/p>\n
