LEONARDTOWN, Md. – At about 12:15 p.m. on May 9, 2023, emergency personnel responded to a serious motor vehicle accident in the 22800 block of Newtown Neck Road. A single vehicle had struck a pole and ended up in the woods, with the driver pinned inside.
Upon arrival, firefighters deployed the HURST Jaws of Life extrication tools and worked to remove multiple doors and the roof to gain access to the driver. Crews then lifted the dash using 40″ spreaders to complete the extrication process.
The patient was extricated within 20 minutes and was turned over to EMS for care. The patient was transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, due to the delay of a helicopter. The patient would later be evaluated at a trauma center.
We will continue to provide updates as they become available.

No speed cameras this will continue to get worse
Just another story that we’ll never know the reason why it happened…
I was first on the scene. It was an attempted suicide. He told the officer he wanted to die before crashing.
Amazing how much damage can occur when you driving 45 MPH
It’s absolutely astonishing
@Tim Gatton That’s because of built-in crumple zones…they send the shockwave ‘around’ the cabin, instead of ‘thru’ it.
We understand crumple zones, but…..that car is completely demolished, there’s no way they were doing 45, to do that much destruction to a vehicle they were traveling at least 60-70
