Update: Maryland Attorney General’s office has provided a press release with additional information 

In an update by MCFRS Assistant Chief David Pazos, “one adult female succumbed to her injuries on the scene and was a DOA. The occupant of the rollover vehicle (adult female) was transported in critical condition to a trauma hospital. Both North and Southbound lanes of RT355 were affected.”

Rockville Pike reopened late Saturday morning after the crash and police investigation closed MD-355 Rockville Pike in both directions between Bou Avenue and Rollins Avenue/Twinbrook Parkway starting approximately 2:20am.

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown stated earlier this morning that “Investigators with our Independent Investigations Division (IID) are on the scene of a police-involved fatal collision in the area of Rockville Pike and Twinbrook Parkway in Montgomery County.”

In a 10:03am update by Pazos, he wrote, “Units on scene found two occupied vehicles with one being a rollover. Both vehicles required extrication to remove their occupants.” Shortly after, he included the update involving the deceased woman and other driver in critical condition. We will provide an update when additional information is made available.
