The driver, identified as a 29-year-old man from Washington, D.C., was pinned inside the truck and had to be re-moved by fire and rescue workers, Hernandez said. He was flown to a hospital with serious injuries.

The passenger, a 24-year-old Silver Spring, Md., man, was not injured, police said.

Neither of the other vehicles was occupied.

An 18-year-old Woodbridge woman driving the Honda was flown to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries, according to police.
