May 10—A northern Virginia man is dead after a two-vehicle crash along Route 15 near Point of Rocks Sunday, according to Maryland State Police.

Authorities responded to reports of a crash on mile marker 1 on Route 15 around 3:30 p.m.

Preliminary investigation found a Nissan Altima was traveling southbound when it crossed into the northbound lane and struck a Toyota Camry head on, according to a MSP news release.

Only the driver was occupying the Nissan, while four people were inside the Toyota.
