UPDATE: On July 20, 2019, at 11:14 p.m. deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the reported motor vehicle collision in the 27400 block of Three Notch Road, in the area of Harpers Corner Road in Mechanicsville.
Deputies arrived on scene and were advised by Marvin Leander Jones Jr., age 49 of Waldorf, that he was driving on Three Notch Road when a motorcycle collided with his vehicle, however, he was unable to locate the motorcycle. Deputies began checking the area and observed motorcycle debris. Deputies quickly located an injured subject who was lying in bushes, off the roadway.
The individual was later identified as Steven Marcus Gilmore, 22 of Mechanicsville.
Lifesaving measures were attempted at the scene however Gilmore ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
A preliminary investigation determined Jones was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road operating a 2013 Dodge Durango. Gilmore was also traveling southbound on Three Notch Road operating a 2018 Suzuki GSX motorcycle. For unknown reasons Gilmore ran into the back of the Durango, causing Gilmore’s motorcycle to leave the roadway, strike a curb, and Gilmore being ejected from the motorcycle.
At this time speed and alcohol appear to be contributing factors in the collision.
