Two autocycle drivers die after separate vehicles collide with an SUV in Southeast Baltimore

Crash at Pulaski Highway and Armistead Way leaves two dead; SUV driver hospitalized

Two people driving separate autocycles were killed Tuesday evening, March 10, 2026, after a collision involving an SUV at the intersection of Pulaski Highway and Armistead Way in Southeast Baltimore, police said.

Officers were dispatched at about 8 p.m. for reports of a multi-vehicle crash at the intersection. Investigators said both autocycles struck the SUV. One autocycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The second autocycle driver was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

The driver of the SUV was taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Police did not immediately release the identities or ages of those involved, and no additional details were provided about what led up to the collision or whether any charges are anticipated.

What an autocycle is, and why the vehicle type matters in crash investigations

In Maryland law, an “autocycle” is a motor vehicle category generally associated with three-wheeled, motorcycle-class vehicles that use automotive-style features such as a steering wheel and seating, and that are designed to be operated on public roads. The classification can influence how vehicles are registered and inspected, and how crash reporting distinguishes them from traditional motorcycles and passenger cars.

In fatal crashes, investigators typically document vehicle type, impact points, roadway design, lighting conditions, and other factors that may help reconstruct how the collision occurred. Police have not yet released findings on speed, right-of-way, or possible impairment in the Pulaski Highway crash.

Location: a major corridor with heavy traffic and complex turning movements

Pulaski Highway (U.S. Route 40) is a heavily traveled arterial route through East and Southeast Baltimore, serving commuter traffic as well as commercial and industrial areas. Intersections along the corridor can involve multiple lanes, turning movements, and changing traffic patterns—factors that often increase the complexity of crash reconstruction when multiple vehicles are involved.
