located at the scene with incapacitating injuries and was transported by
Maryland State Police helicopter to an area trauma center for treatment. The
St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to
the scene and continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation
determined a 2017 KTM Super Duke R motorcycle, operated by Byron Keith Boman,

Notch Road, in the area of Park Place Way.
