MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION AT RT.4/CHANEYVILLE ROAD

    On 10/28/2016 @ approximately 2028 hours units from the Calvert County Sheriff's Office responded to Rt.4 and Chaneyville Road for the reported "serious accident."  Initial responding deputies found a three car collision.  A passenger vehicle travelling southbound on Rt.4 struck the rear of a pickup truck and then veered off the roadway, which resulted in the initial striking vehicle striking another passenger car (unoccupied) in the parking lot of the World Gym - Owings.

    The single occupant of the striking vehicle was trapped in his vehicle, requiring the Dunkirk Fire Department to assist with removal.  The occupant had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his person, and appeared to be "out of it."
  
    The single occupant of the pickup truck was evaluated by EMS personnel, signed a refusal form, and was released from the scene upon his request.  His vehicle was not towed.

    The occupant of the striking vehicle received medical care from the crew of Ambulance59 and Medic101.  Paramedics determined that his medical state required immediate transport to a trauma facility.  Trooper 6 responded to the scene for aviation transport.

    The striking vehicle was towed by Chips towing to their lot.  At this point in the investigation, it did not appear that the patient was suffering from life threatening injuries.

    After the patient was reassessed, assistance was requested from the Crash Reconstruction Team. Det. Rector and CPL Wilson responded to the scene and assumed the investigation.

    Trooper 6 transported the adult male to Baltimore Shock Trauma.  Contact was made with the Trauma Resuscitation Unit and advised that they anticipate a full recovery.


    DFC Durner will be completing an accident report.  Det. Rector will assist with obtaining a subpoena for medical records to assist DFC Durner with charging this male with DUI/DWI and possession of narcotics.

DECEASED PERSON LOCATED AT FLAG HARBOR

    On October 29, 2016 at approximately 2030hrs CCSO units responded to Flag Harbor in reference to a missing person that had possible fallen into the Harbor, St. Leonard MD.  Cpl. Smith arrived at the Flag Harbor pier and located the body of a deceased female under the pier. Det. Jernigan responded to the scene to assume the investigation.

    The victim, identified as Pamela Fell date of birth 9/15/71, lived on a large boat parked in the first boat slip on the left on the pier. A friend of Ms. Fell, had been attempting to contact the victim since Thursday afternoon with negative results.  The friend contacted the harbormaster at Flag Harbor and asked him to check on Ms. Fell. The harbormaster went to Ms. Fell’s boat and observed a purse on the floor of the rear boat deck, the lights were on inside the cabin, the television was on, and only the screen door was closed. He attempted to call out for Ms. Fell and received no response. The harbormaster told the friend she should probably come to the boat to check further as he did not want to enter the boat. The friend responded to the boat and made the same observations as the harbormaster. Ms. Fell’s cellular telephone was retrieved from the purse on the rear deck of the boat. The friend then responded to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to report Ms. Fell missing. The harbormaster checked the surveillance camera footage from the camera on the pier where Ms. Fell’s boat is located. The camera showed Ms. Fell falling off of the dock and no further activity.

    A Forensic Investigator was called to the scene and the body of the deceased was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore where an autopsy will be performed.


    The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Det. Jernigan of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office at 410-535-2800 ext.-2772 or email – jernigse@co.cal.md.us.
