Seven people had to be rushed to area hospitals following a serious crash this morning in Beltsville.

Just after 2 a.m. police were called to Beltsville Drive and Power Mill Road. An SUV and two cars were involved. First responders had to cut the roof off of one of the vehicles. Two people were pulled from that vehicle. They suffered life-threatening injuries. The other victims which have not been identified were treated and released.

Investigators remain on the scene looking for clues to what caused the accident. A large section of Power Mill Road will be closed for most of the morning rush hour. Avoid the area this morning if at all possible.
