St. Leonard, MD — Another fatal motorcycle crash in our area. This comes just days after a string of recent fatalities prompted the Maryland State Police to issue urging both motorcyclists and those driving other vehicles to be cautious.
Kyle Eugene Joseph Mishou, 31, of Saint Leonard was killed just after 12:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon in a crash area of MD Rt. 4 south of Parran Road in Saint Leonard.
Calvert County Sheriff’s officers say the driver of the motorcycle turned right onto MD Rt. 4 from Parran Road. Shortly after turning onto Southbound Rt. 4, Mishou lost control of the motorcycle.
The motorcycle proceeded to travel southbound and enter the grassy shoulder of the
roadway. While traveling in the grass, Mishou and the motorcycle separated, at which point Mishou struck a tree and came to final rest in the grassy shoulder.
Mishou succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene.
At this time speed and driver error are believed to be contributing factors in the crash.
Anyone with information about the crash is requested to contact DFC. W. Beisel of the Crash Reconstruction Team at William.beisel@calvertcountymd.gov or (410) 353-2800 ext. 2131.
