UPDATE: On October 15, 2024, at approximately 2:37 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau responded to the area of Hallowing Point Rd (Rt. 231) and Seagull Beach Road in Prince Frederick, for the report of motor vehicle crash involving multiple vehicles.
Upon arrival deputies determined one of the drivers involved in the crash was severely injured and requested the Crash Reconstruction Team.
A preliminary investigation revealed a 2017 Kia, being operated by Juan Antonio Lopez, 22 of Lusby, was stopped in the westbound lane of Rt 231 waiting to make a left turn into a private driveway.
A 2017 Mack Truck, operated by John Henry Davis, 56 of Waldorf, was traveling westbound on 231. The Mack struck the rear of the Kia, pushing it into eastbound traffic. A 2015 Toyota traveling eastbound, operated by Robert Preston Young, 54 of St. Leonard, was struck by the Kia as it was pushed into the eastbound lane.
Lopez was transported to a local trauma center in serious condition.
Davis and Young were uninjured.
Davis’s failure to control speed to avoid a collision appears to be the contributing factor to this collision.
