Baltimore County police are investigating the cause of a three-car accident that left two men dead late Sunday night after a motorist crossed the double yellow line on Philadelphia Road in Bradshaw.

Terrence Joseph Reddy, 55, of 1100 Plaza Circle in Joppa was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which occurred about 11 p.m. just north of Bradshaw Road.

Police said he had been driving a 1993 Toyota Camry north in the southbound lanes of Philadelphia Road when he hit a 1998 Dodge Neon head-on.

Investigators may be able today to identify the driver of the Neon, who was burned beyond recognition in the crash.

Officer Shawn Vinson, a police spokesman, said it could take up to 48 hours to make identifications in such cases.

A third vehicle, a 1998 Honda Accord, hit the Neon from behind. The driver of the Accord, a 21-year-old Perry Hall man, was treated at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and released yesterday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
