On May 7, 2019, at approximately
10:20 p.m. deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to
the reported single motor vehicle collision with entrapment in the 38600 block
of Mt. Wolf Road in Charlotte Hall. Upon arrival a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
operated by Sergio Manuel Hernandez, age 37 of Charlotte Hall, was found to
have left the roadway and struck a tree. Hernandez, who was the sole occupant
of the vehicle, advised deputies on the scene he swerved to avoid striking
deer, and his vehicle left the roadway. Hernandez was flown to an area trauma
center where he succumbed to his injuries.
At this time speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the
collision. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit
is continuing the investigation.
Anyone who witnessed the
collision is asked to contact Deputy First Class Jason Smith at (301) 475-4200
extension *2328 or by email at Jason.Smith@stmarysmd.com.
