A 73-year-old man driving a 1936 Ford was killed Thursday evening when he was struck head-on by another vehicle in Crofton, according to Anne Arundel County authorities. Firefighters responded to the crash about 7:45 p.m. on Defense Highway, just west of Nob Hill Drive, said Division Chief Michael Cox of the county Fire Department. Howard Herbert Wright of Gambrills was pronounced dead at the scene, according to county police. The driver of the other vehicle - Andre Savvas Pantelides, 19, of Annapolis - was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he remains in serious condition. According to the initial police investigation, Pantelides was driving his 2003 Toyota Corolla east on Defense Highway when he crossed the center line and struck Wright's vintage car. Cox said it took 18 firefighters about 10 minutes to free the men from their vehicles. Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident, but preliminary evidence suggests that the Toyota may have been speeding.
