The Hampstead community is mourning the death of Garrett Reid Luber, 21, who died following a fatal single-vehicle crash in Carroll County, Maryland, on Saturday, August 29, 2026. His unexpected passing has left family, friends, and loved ones grieving the loss of a young man whose life ended far too soon.
According to the Maryland State Police, troopers from the Westminster Barrack responded at approximately 2:14 a.m. to northbound Maryland Route 91, also known as Emory Road, near Hollingsworth Road after receiving a report of a serious crash. A preliminary investigation determined that a Volkswagen Jetta had traveled off the roadway and struck an embankment. Luber was pronounced dead at the scene.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation. Maryland State Police have indicated that impairment may have been a factor, although that remains part of the preliminary investigation and should not be considered a final determination regarding the cause of the collision.
