A father is dead after crashing a motorcycle with his 9-year-old daughter aboard.
It occurred Sunday night on Route 210 near Jenkins Lane in Charles County.
This is where Harry Washington III, 32, of Indian Head, collided with a Dodge Dart.
Washington and his small daughter, who was riding as a passenger on the Suzuki motorcycle, were both helicoptered to the hospital.
He later died.
Maryland State Police think the Dart entered Washington’s course of travel.
The driver and passenger first fled the scene.
However, a short while later, the passenger, 43-year-old Jose Osmin Orellana Santamaria of White Plains, returned for medical treatment.
The driver remains on the run. Lanes were stopped for around three hours after the crash.
State Police issued a warning to automobile and motorbike operators, but the exact cause is still being investigated.Police issued a press release on Monday urging drivers to slow down, share the road, and avoid aggressive, distracted, and intoxicated driving. Motorcycle riders use the abbreviation ATGATT (all the gear, all the time). Wear adequate riding clothing so that cars can see you whether you’re riding for five minutes or five hours. Drivers, look twice; it could save a life. “Check your blind spots on a regular basis.”
