GREAT MILLS, Md. – At approximately 1:36 a.m. on Saturday, April 6, 2024, patrol units from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office (SMCSO) were dispatched to a motor vehicle crash on Point Lookout Road in Great Mills, MD.
When deputies arrived, they found a 2005 Ford F-150 truck crashed into Holy Face Church, and the driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was stuck inside the truck and seriously hurt.
Local fire and emergency medical services personnel extricated the driver, Nicholas Aaron Fondren, 22, of California, MD, from the truck, and he was transported to an area trauma center by Maryland State Police Aviation’s Trooper 7 for emergency care.
Due to the nature of the collision, the SMCSO Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to assume the investigation. A preliminary investigation indicates the truck was traveling southbound on Point Lookout Road toward Great Mills Road when the vehicle left the road, traveled approximately 450 feet, and struck the Holy Face Church. At this time, speed, driver error, and alcohol are considered contributing factors in the collision.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or any events leading up to the collision is asked to contact Corporal Jason Smith at Jason.Smith@stmaryscountymd.gov or 301-475-4200 ext. 2328.
Jesus Mary and Joseph !!! I guarantee that he was over 130 mph and rolled at least 2x and rear end was off the ground as he rolled …
Other drivers need to learn from his error in judgement
LOL!!!! that truck can’t do 130!!! Give me a break!
It only takes a 55mph crash to do that much damage to a modern day truck
YOU no nada dang thing , go troll elsewhere
Oh I don’t? That truck has a fuel governed shut off at 95mph, how do you expect it to do 130mph genius?
I’ll wait
If you still don’t believe me drive around southern Maryland and look at a crash involving a truck, they crumble like aluminum cans
Still waiting
Regardless of why this ACCIDENT occurred it involved a HUMAN BEING {a young man, whose Parents have tragically lost the life of their SON and whose many Friends are left behind mourning the loss of their one True Friend}!!! Unknown to many who will attach their comments here — Nicholas’ Life MATTERED and I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL for Nicholas sharing his large caring heart; his endless true friendship; and his life saving knowledge and actions he quickly gave to others!!!! I never had the opportunity to say “Thank You” to Nicholas in Life; only the opportunity to pray thankfully for Nicholas’ presence and actions that night; and to pray for Nicholas then, today and always 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
😇 We ALL lost an angle, graciously shared briefly with us all here on earth, who is now watching over us all from heaven (until we meet again)—God Bless Nicholas’ Soul and Us All 😇 … Please Remember to Reach Out to One Another and to Take Care of One Another in Memory of Nicholas Today and Always🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢

Holy Crash Face!
A few feet further, like 6, he would have landed in the cemetery …
I hope they make it and learned from a hard impact, a lesson to convey to others
not to repeat .. dont put your family through this
Looks like he’s been an acholic drunk driver for years. He wont. He just has one less leg now..
He needs to ride the “Shoe Leather Express” for a good long while before he kills someone.
Praise God he is alive!! I know Nick, he is one of my son’s good friends. The jokes are childish and very disrespectful. Believe me there is a lot of crap going on in the county and the names and criminal charges aren’t being published because of good ol boys rules. Why not use your real names and we can judge you. There is only one person who can judge and it isn’t any of you.
If you all don’t know him dont judge!!! Use your real name so we can MD case search you. He has been going through a rough time. Stop judging. I know him, nice guy, he made a mistake, 9 times out of 10 you all have driven impaired before too.
He could of killed someone.. like Ashley Nolan did! He should be ashamed of himself..
Shame on YOU. You’d think his family would help him stop drinking.
