An 18-year-old man killed in a crash Friday night in Cockeysville has been identified as Ryan Duvall, Baltimore County Police said.
Officers responded around 9:45 p.m. to the intersection of Poplar Hill and Merrymans Mill roads for a reported single-vehicle crash.
Investigators said the vehicle was traveling southbound on Poplar Hill Road when it left the road and struck a tree.
Duvall, who was a passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel.
Police said the driver, a minor, and one minor passenger suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital. A second minor passenger was also hospitalized with injuries that were not immediately described.
The crash remains under investigation, and police have not released additional details as of Sunday.
At the scene, tire marks cut through the dirt and grass just beyond a sharp bend in the road, tracing where the vehicle veered off course.
At the base of a tree with bark stripped away from the impact, fresh flowers had been left as a memorial.
Passing drivers slowed as they approached the site Sunday, where at least one person stopped to pay respects.
A GoFundMe organized by a family member seeks to help cover funeral expenses and support Duvall’s family as they grieve. The organizer described him as a beloved son, uncle and “light in all our lives.”
