On July 29, 2018, at
approximately 6:48 P.M. deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded
to the 21000 block of Three Notch Road, in the area of FDR Boulevard in Lexington
Park, for the reported motor vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. Responding deputies found a sport utility
vehicle and a motorcycle in the roadway. The Collision Reconstruction Unit
responded to the scene and continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation
determined a 2014 Toyota Highlander, operated by Kevin James Wolfe, age 51 of
Leonardtown, was struck by a 2004 Suzuki GSX R1000 motorcycle operated by
William Antonio Briscoe, age 31 of Lexington Park. Briscoe was traveling southbound on Three
Notch Road, and failed to stop at a red traffic signal at the intersection of
FDR Boulevard. Briscoe collided with the Toyota which was crossing the
southbound lanes of Three Notch Road to continue northbound, on a green traffic
signal. Briscoe was ejected from the motorcycle and
was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Wolfe and two juvenile passengers suffered non- incapacitating injuries. Witness accounts indicate speed and failure
to obey a traffic control device to be contributing factors in the accident.
