Four people were treated at local hospitals after a car struck a curb in a single-vehicle collision Tuesday night in Gaithersburg, police said.

The accident occurred around 10:50 p.m., when the driver hit a curb, sending the SUV into a grassy area near St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Subsequently, the vehicle struck a tree and overturned. The collision is under investigation, and it is still unknown why the vehicle struck the curb in the first place.

As a result of the accident, everyone inside the vehicle was taken to the hospital for evaluation. Two have been critically injured: Kendra Frederick (the driver), was taken to the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore with life-threatening injuries.

Additionally, the right-rear passenger was also taken to the Baltimore trauma center and is in critical condition. Investigators believe that neither was wearing seat belts.

The front-seat and left-rear passengers were luckier, as they were only treated for injuries and released from local hospitals, police said. Investigators believe both were wearing seat belts.
