Two people were killed after a crash in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, Friday evening.
The sheriff’s office said the collision of two vehicles occurred at the intersection of Three Notch Road and Poplar Ridge Road in Lexington Park, Maryland, before 8:15 p.m. Friday.
Police said the investigation showed a 2011 Ford Edge, operated by Dylan Anonsen, 24, of Waldorf, was traveling northbound on Three Notch Road. A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300, operated by Donald Daube, 42 of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road. For some reason yet to be determined, the Mercedes-Benz 300 crossed over the center line and struck the Ford Edge head-on.
Authorities said Anonsen was trapped in the vehicle and had to be removed by fire personnel before being flown by Trooper 7 to Shock Trauma. Daube and a passenger, William Moeller, 40, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were both pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency medical personnel.
Investigators said speed does not appear to be a factor in the accident. At this time, it is unknown if alcohol is a contributing factor.
