On February 18, 2019, at
approximately 4:46 a.m. deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office
responded to the report of a single vehicle collision in the 22800 block of
Three Notch Road, in the area of Miramar Way, in California, Maryland. Upon arrival officers located the vehicle,
with the operator trapped inside. The operator, and sole occupant of the
vehicle, was extricated and transported to an area hospital with incapacitating
injuries. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit
responded and continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation
determined a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe operated by Gina Marie Polo, age 32 of
Leonardtown, was traveling northbound on Three Notch Road when the vehicle left
the roadway and struck a tree. Polo was
initially transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, and subsequently
transported to Washington Hospital Center for further treatment.
At this time, speed and weather
appear to be contributing factors in the collision. Anyone who witnessed the collision or events
leading to the collision, is asked to contact Corporal Dale Reppel at (301)
475-4200 extension *8059, or by email at Dale.Reppel@stmarysmd.com.
