Gaithersburg woman killed in Germantown collision


A young Gaithersburg woman has died after an automobile collision on MD 355 in Germantown. Daniela Fernanda Pineda, 20, was driving a blue 2007 Honda Civic southbound on Frederick Road around 12:16 PM on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. For reasons yet to be determined by investigators, Pineda's car crossed the median into oncoming traffic, striking a northbound 2021 Ford Transit van in the vicinity of Wheatfield Drive.

Pineda was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. Tragically, she later succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. The driver of the van was also taken to a hospital. Montgomery County police describe his injuries as non-life-threatening.
