Three Notch Road in the area of Clover Hill Road


On April 17, 2016, at approximately 8:55 p.m., patrol units from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a serious motor vehicle collision on Three Notch Road in the area of Clover Hill Road in Hollywood. Units arrived on scene to discover three vehicles involved in a collision. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and assumed the investigation.

Preliminary investigation revealed a 2010 Nissan Altima being operated by George Taylor, 54, of La Plata, was traveling Eastbound on Clover Hill Road.  The vehicle was stationary, partially in the southbound lane and the median crossover, waiting to continue north on Three Notch Road.  The Nissan was struck by a 2013 Harley Davidson Road King, operated by George Alvey Jr, 55, of Hollywood.  Alvey was ejected from the motorcycle; the motorcycle continued sliding south on Three Notch Road until it struck a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer, operated by Patricia Moreland, 65, of Hollywood. Alvey suffered extensive injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

At this time, the motorcycle’s speed is believed to be a contributing factor.   Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or any events leading up to the collision is asked to call Corporal Brandon Foor #235 at 301-475-4040.
