A motorcycle driver died Saturday after his bike collided with a van and went airborne, striking an oncoming car on the opposite side of U.S. 301 in Waldorf, according to Maryland State Police.
The speed of the white 2009 Ducati motorcycle, driven by Deven Rachar Blackshear, was a factor that led to the accident, police reported.
Blackshear, 31, was traveling north on U.S. 301 near Route 5 at about 5:44 p.m. when his motorcycle hit the side of a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country that was pulling out of a parking lot onto the highway, according to Maryland State Police Sgt. Eric Diggs. The Ducati then flew into a silver Chevrolet HHR that was heading south on U.S. 301, according to a press release.
A state police helicopter flew Blackshear, who was suffering from serious head trauma and a broken neck, from the scene to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he died, police reported.
Abigail Jaye Nabors, 33, of Waldorf, who was driving the Town & Country and had facial injuries, and a toddler, who was riding in a rear seat of the van and whose injuries were unknown, were both flown to Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., according to the report.
The 16-year-old Chevrolet driver, Shaquoy Yvette Morris, and a 46-year-old passenger, Yvette Linda Morris, both of King George, Va., reportedly didn't suffer any injuries and weren't transported to a hospital after the accident.
