A Nissan Maxima was traveling eastbound on Central Avenue approaching Loch Haven Road. The driver failed to negotiate a curve and lost control. The vehicle crossed into the opposite lane, left the roadway and struck a tree. The passenger was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to a local trauma center with life threatening injuries.
