<p>OLNEY, MD. (Aug. 31, 2014) The latest in teen-age joyrides to claim the life of one of the participants occurred in Montgomery County, Maryland, according to Montgomery County Police.</p>
<p>In spite of the best efforts of police, educators and parents to stem the number of teenagers who die in wrecks, the carnage continues, often with alcohol and drugs a part of the death and destruction. Easy treatment for the drivers of the hell-rides fails to be a deterrent but is an easy balm for the relatives and friends of the at-fault driver who abhor accountability.</p>
<p>The police investigation is preliminary in this wreck but with the death of one passenger, detectives will be digging into the actions of the driver and where the teens had been prior to the fatal trip, including who may have provided them with any alcohol or drugs, if intoxicating substances were involved or if the cause of the crash was simply speed.</p>
