A mother and daughter were killed after another car struck theirs while driving on the wrong side of I-270 in Bethesda, Maryland on Saturday, according to Maryland State Police.

State troopers said they responded at around 6:46 p.m. to the area of southbound I-270 just south of Democracy Boulevard after receiving a report of a two-vehicle crash.

Police said a Ford Mustang was driving in the wrong direction on I-270 and hit a Toyota sedan head-on.

Shamima Begum, 46, and Areebah Jahin, 23, were passengers in the Toyota and were pronounced dead. The 62-year-old driver and a 8-year-old passenger in the car were taken to nearby hospitals for their injuries. It is not yet clear how serious their injuries are.

Jose Nolasco, 32, was identified as the driver of the Ford. He was taken to a nearby hospital for his injuries on Saturday, according to police.

Investigators believe impairment may be a contributing factor to the crash, according to police. The crash is still under investigation.

The one in Maine at almost the same time was an 88-year-old who apparently misread the wrong way sign.

“Puncture strips don’t stop cars, as has been seen on live police shows.”

Because someone running from the law will try to keep going on rims doesn’t mean the puncture strips wouldn’t put a big crimp in someone tootling down a highway in the wrong direction. But it could cause some other problems during emergency ops.
