A Reisterstown youth was killed yesterday when the car he was riding in was rear-ended and pushed into the path of oncoming traffic on Butler Road in Glyndon, Baltimore County police said.
Dontay Yarbrough, 17, of the 11900 block of Tarragon Road in Reisterstown was dead at the scene of the accident, which occurred just after 2: 30 p.m. at Butler Road and Third Avenue, said Cpl. James Conaboy, a police spokesman.
Dontay, a senior at Franklin High School, was a guard on the basketball team.
The driver of the car, Timothy Goins, 17, of Wooden Bridge Court in Reisterstown was in critical condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center last night.
The two youths were in a 1986 Plymouth Reliant headed west on Butler Road. The car was stopped and preparing to turn left onto Third Avenue when it was struck from the rear by a 1989 Ford pickup truck driven by Stefan Hoffnagle, 30, of the 100 block of First Ave. in Reisterstown, police said.
The impact sent the Plymouth spinning into the path of a Toyota 4-Runner driven by Michael Schweigerath, 55, of the 1200 block of Teaford Road in Forest Hill. Schweigerath's vehicle, which was headed east on Butler Road, struck the Plymouth on the passenger side.
Police said the youths did not appear to be wearing seat belts. No charges had been filed last night. Police were investigating the accident.
