Car Crash Bel Air Maryland in Bel Air, Maryland: A Maryland driver was convicted in connection with a fatal crash on Route 543 near Crescent Knoll Drive in Bel Air. Prosecutors said the driver spent nearly his entire drive using Instagram, Chess.com, and an AI chatbot instead of watching the road, and struck a teen's vehicle, pushing it into the path of a school bus. The teen driver was seriously injured and spent 11 days recovering at Shock Trauma; his 16-year-old passenger was taken to a hospital where she died shortly after arriving. Investigators found no evidence the driver braked or attempted to steer away before the collision.
