UPDATE – On Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022 at 12:11 pm, patrol deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle collision in the intersection of Hollywood Road and Route 5 in Leonardtown. Deputies arrived on scene and observed an offset head-on style motor vehicle collision with one operator unresponsive. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded and continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation determined a 2000 Ford F-150 was being operated by Armond Cyrill Proctor, age 88 of California. Proctor was traveling southbound on Route 5 when he attempted to make a left turn onto Hollywood Road. As Proctor attempted the left turn, he was struck by a 2012 Ford F-250, operated by Peter Michael Watson, age 70 of Leonardtown, which was traveling northbound on Route 5.
At this time, failing to yield the right of way is considered as the contributing factor in the crash.

People in a hurry going nowhere fast! Except the hospital
How do you know someone wasn’t suffering from a medical emergency. So quick to jump to conclusions and the investigation isn’t even complete.
Because 99.9 percent of the crashes in southern Maryland are caused by idiots
Don’t think a 70 or 80 yr old was going anywhere fast. 🤔 😂
May of been the cause of a medical emergency
An 88 year old should not be driving
I’ll be 88 soon …. I am quite aware of my limitations as an elderly person …. but sad to say that I make fewer errors and respond faster than many of the people on the road around here. Maybe it is because I know my limitations; pay close attention, etc.. A medical incident can happen at any time to any age person ….
Only one of the almost 100 accidents over the past 10 years within 500′ of my driveway have been caused by an ‘old’ person.
Neither should 16 year olds but here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t lump every one under the same title. My neighbor is 93+ and perfectly capable of driving safely. He still line dances whenever he gets a chance. Not all people are incapable just because of their age.
Drive like I do….No where to go, and all day to get there. And, I usually do.
Father Time coming for all of us. None of you can hide from it………………
Y’all comments tho stfu and worry bout yourselfs y’all don’t know wtf happened
And now that you’ve said that, everyone will comply………..
As someone with knowledge of what happened here, you’re all pretty much wrong.
The age was no factor. Yielding the right-of-way seemed to be the cause. Further. I wouldn’t go casting stones. I frequently drive through that area and several others and see how some of ya’ll can’t wait to tailgate someone for not doing a minimum of 15 over the limit. Let’s not cast stones. Instead, let’s take this as a means to learn from a mistake and start driving a little more decently. Jeez.
Battle of the Ford F series 🤣 by the elders…
