The Port of Baltimore announced the death of its deputy executive director and his wife in a fatal car crash on Halloween evening.
A press release from the Port of Baltimore confirmed the deaths of Brian Miller and his wife Kim Miller, who were both killed in the crash. Miller had been with the Maryland Port Administration for 26 years and was deputy executive director for operations and logistics since 2020. The MPA released the following statement about the incident that read in part:
“Brian Miller, our deputy executive director, and his wife Kim were both tragically killed Saturday evening in a car crash in Harford County, Maryland… Brian’s wife Kim, in addition to being a devoted wife and mother, was a longtime member of our Port of Baltimore community and was by Brian’s side at many port events over the years. Brian and Kim are survived by their two adult children Trent and Rylee, as well as his mother Mary Carol “Sam”, a former MPA employee, in addition to other family members. Brian loved the MPA, the Port of Baltimore and its people, and working in the maritime industry. He will be deeply missed.”
According to Maryland State Police, around 7:19 p.m. on Oct. 31, troopers responded to the area of Jarrettsville Pike and Hess Road for a reported crash. An investigation showed that a Volvo XC60 was traveling eastbound on Hess Road before colliding with a Volkswagen Passat that was traveling southbound on Jarrettsville Pike.
The driver and passenger of the Volvo were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. They have been identified as Kimberly Miller, 56, and Brain Miller, 61, both of Fallston. The driver of the Passat, a 19-year-old from Monkton, was taken to Shock Trauma for treatment of his injuries.
