Calvert County Sheriff's deputies received multiple reports of car break-ins May 13 around the Huntingtown area. Deputies were alerted to a car believed to be associated with the break-ins, a press release said.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said deputies tried to stop the car in Huntingtown near Plum Point Road and Ridge Road around 5:35 a.m., but the car didn't stop.
Brown said deputies chased the car for 25 miles into Anne Arundel County, where it collided with a pick-up truck at the intersection of Birdsville Road and Solomons Island Road in Harwood.
The pick-up driver was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, the attorney general said.
Brown said the three occupants of the fleeing car were also hospitalized.
The release said the front-seat passenger, the juvenile girl, died soon after.
The attorney general said the driver sustained critical injuries and the rear passenger suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
