Deputies Investigate Fatal Crash

[August 4, 2018, Abingdon, MD] An Abingdon woman is dead after a single vehicle crash Saturday afternoon in Harford County.

On August 4, 2018, at approximately 2:51 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the scene of a single vehicle crash in the 200 block of Kensington Parkway in Abingdon. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe in a backyard of a home in the block. The sole occupant of the vehicle, identified as Erica Marie Rohal, 34, of Abingdon, was declared deceased on scene, shortly after deputies’ arrival. 

Preliminary information gathered at the scene indicates Rohal was traveling westbound on Kensington Parkway when, for unknown reasons, she struck a parked vehicle, two houses, and several other fixed objects before the vehicle rolled, coming to rest on its roof. No other injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
A building inspector responded to the scene and determined the homes were safe for occupation.

Deputies assigned to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Crash Team responded to the scene to assume the investigation into the cause and circumstances of the crash. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner responded and will perform an autopsy to determine if a medical condition, drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash. Rohal was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The investigation is active and ongoing. No further information will be released at this time.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has any information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit at 443-409-3324.
