LEONARDTOWN, Md. – On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at around 6:42 a.m., patrol units from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a serious motor vehicle collision in the area of Three Notch Road and Charlotte Hall School Road in Charlotte Hall. Deputies arrived at the site to find one person trapped.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2018 gray Hyundai Tucson was traveling northbound on Three Notch Road and attempted to turn left onto Charlotte Hall School Road. The vehicle failed to yield the right of way, crossed into the southbound lanes of Three Notch Road, and was struck by a 2015 Ford F150 XLT operated by Maynor Caal Choc, 28, of Lanham.
The driver of the Hyundai Tucson was transported by Maryland State Police Aviation Command Trooper 7 to an area trauma center with life-threatening injuries.
Currently, speed does not appear to be a factor in the collision.
Due to the severity of the crash, the Collision Reconstruction Unit responded and assumed the investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash or events leading up to it and has not already provided a statement is asked to contact Corporal Rachael Owens at 301-475-4200, ext. 8108, or at rachael.owens@stmaryscountymd.gov.
Oh please, don’t put another traffic light there. It’s time the residents start removing the excessive traffic lights and the government starts removing the driving privileges of those who cause these crashes!!!
