Two passengers of a box truck died in a fiery crash Sunday afternoon on Interstate 70 in Frederick County, police said.  Maryland State Police said troopers were called around 4:10 p.m. to westbound I-70 near Exit 62 in New Market.  State police said a preliminary investigation indicates the driver of a BMW SUV rear-ended a box truck near Maryland Route 75. The box truck subsequently crossed the median and struck an oncoming tractor-trailer.  Both the box truck and tractor-trailer were propelled into the wood line alongside eastbound I-70 and caught fire.
