On 06-26-18 at approximately 0637
hours members of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction
Team were dispatched to the intersection of F Street and 29th
Street, Chesapeake Beach, for a Vehicle Collision.
Preliminary
investigation of the collision revealed the following: A 2015 Subaru Forester
was traveling south on F Street. Sofia Villarreal, 20 year old of Chesapeake
Beach, MD, was the driver of the Subaru. Joseph Pesce, 64 year old of
Chesapeake Beach, MD, was riding a bicycle east on 29th
Street. Both the Subaru and the bicycle entered the intersection of
29th Street and F Street at the same time. The Subaru struck the
bicycle. Pesce was ejected from the bike.
Joseph
Pesce was transported to Washington Hospital Center by Medivac where he later

Investigation shows that Failure to Stop and Yield at a Stop Sign by one or
both parties involved in the collision contributed to this crash.
