UPDATE: On Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at approximately 6:33 p.m., patrol units from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a serious motor vehicle collision near Three Notch Road and Old Village Road, Mechanicsville, with one ejected.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 2000 Infinity G20 operated by Melissa Marie Stallings, 28, of Mechanicsville, was traveling eastbound on Old Village Road, failed to yield the right of way, crossing over Three Notch Road, and was struck by a 2011 Toyota 4Runner, operated by Dawn Marie Kirkland, 45, of Bryantown, who was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road.
Due to the seriousness of the collision, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded and assumed the investigation. At this time, speed does not appear to be a factor in the accident.
