PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — The helicopter crash in the rain and fog early Sunday in Prince George's County took the lives of three Waldorf residents and a Carroll County man.

The incident began late Saturday night when two recent Westlake High School graduates were heading home by car in Waldorf and the driver lost control of her Ford Taurus, causing it to cross the median, hit several trees and crash into another car.

A Maryland State Police medical helicopter was sent to the scene. Rescue workers decided to take the girls to Prince George's Hospital Center in Cheverly. The onboard team included a Waldorf emergency responder who volunteered to accompany the girls, the pilot from Waldorf and a paramedic from Carroll County who monitored the girls involved in the car crash.
