On July 29, 2015 at approximately 1246 hrs, members of the
Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and the Crash Reconstruction Team
responded to the area of Sheridan Point Road and Fig Point Road in Prince
Frederick for the report of a serious crash involving a dirt bike.
Preliminary investigation revealed a 1999 Yamaha YZ125 dirt
bike was traveling along Sheridan Point Road prior to Fig Point Road. The dirt bike was traveling southwest along
the solid double yellow center line when the operator began to lose
control. The motorcycle traveled off the
roadway, crossed a gravel driveway and struck a Crepe Myrtle tree. The operator
and the motorcycle veered off the tree and struck a metal sign support post
causing the operator to be ejected. The
operator struck his head on the sign support post. The operator and the motorcycle came to rest
at the base of the metal sign support post.
The dirt bike was being operated by Cory Jermaine Mackall, a
27 year old male of Prince Frederick, Maryland.
He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The evidence on scene and witness statements
suggests that Mackall had been consuming alcohol prior to the crash. Mackall was transported to the University
Medical Center in Baltimore by Maryland State Police Trooper 7 and is listed in
critical but stable condition. At this
time alcohol, speed, and driver error are factors that contributed to the
crash.
The Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating the events that led up to the crash. Anyone with additional information regarding the crash is asked to contact Dfc. J. Hardesty of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team at 410-535-2800 or via email at hardesje@co.cal.md.us.
