On December 15, 2016, at approximately 0132 hours units from
the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team
responded to the area near the intersection of Maryland Route 4 and Rousby Hall
Road in Lusby, Maryland for a report of a motor vehicle collision.
Preliminary investigation revealed a 2012 Ford Mustang and
2009 Nissan 370 Z were both traveling northbound on Maryland Route. As the vehicles entered the intersection of
Rousby Hall Road the Ford Mustang struck the Nissan 370 Z in the rear causing
the Nissan to go off the roadway and into an embankment. Once off the road the Nissan rolled and came
to final rest on its roof. After the
collision the operator of the Ford Mustang, later identified as Lindsay Leanne
Canter, 32 years old of Lexington Park, Maryland failed to remain on the scene
of the collision. The Mustang was
located by members of Patrol Bureau and subsequently was stopped a short time
later in close proximity to the crash scene.
The operator of the Nissan was identified as Ronald Joseph
Ball, 32 years old of Huntingtown, Maryland was transported to Calvert Memorial
Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by CMH ER
Staff.
At this time, this investigation is still on going. Alcohol is being considered as a contributing
factor to the collision. If anyone has
any information regarding this collision is being asked to contact Sgt. V.
