A 75-year-old woman was taken to a hospital after a car left the roadway near the intersection of Wenlin Place and Oaks Road in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. The single-vehicle crash was reported on November 1, 2026.

Emergency personnel were dispatched at approximately 1:03 p.m. for a reported crash involving possible entrapment. Firefighters and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene.

According to initial reports, the woman was driving a black Nissan Sentra that went off the road and came to rest in a wooded area. A passerby reported being unable to see the vehicle from the roadway, prompting an emergency response for possible extrication.

The driver reportedly told emergency personnel that she believed she had fallen asleep at the wheel before the crash. That preliminary account did not establish the cause, and the circumstances surrounding the crash remained under investigation.

The woman was reported to be conscious and alert. She complained of a head injury, and initial reports also described bleeding from her nose. Her injuries were classified as Priority 3, indicating non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident was initially classified as a crash involving extrication, but the emergency response was later scaled back. The initial account did not establish whether extrication was ultimately needed.

An ambulance transported the woman to Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata for further evaluation. La Plata was the hospital destination; the crash occurred in Charlotte Hall.
