WASHINGTON — A man was killed after his motorcycle collided into a SUV in Lexington Park, Maryland Sunday night, according the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded at 6:48 p.m. to the 21000 block of Three Notch Road in Lexington Park to find an SUV and a motorcycle in the roadway, according to a news release.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a 2014 Toyota Highlander driven by Kevin James Wolfe, 51, of Leonardtown, was struck by a 2004 Suzuki GSX R1000 motorcycle operated by William Antonio Briscoe, 31, of Lexington Park, the release said.
Briscoe was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road and failed to stop at a red traffic signal at the intersection of FDR Boulevard, according to the release.
Briscoe collided with the Toyota which was crossing the southbound lanes of Three Notch Road through a green traffic light, deputies said.
Briscoe was thrown from the motorcycle and was pronounced dead on the scene.
Wolfe and two juvenile passengers suffered non life-threatening injuries, the release said.
Deputies said that witness accounts at the scene indicate speed and failure to obey the traffic light contributed to the accident.
