Serious Motorcycle Crash in Prince Frederick

PRINCE FREDERICK—On July 29 at approximately 12:46 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office Patrol Bureau and the Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the area of Sheridan Point Road and Fig Point Road in Prince Frederick for the report of a serious crash involving a dirt bike.

Preliminary investigation revealed a 1999 Yamaha YZ125 dirt bike was traveling along Sheridan Point Road prior to Fig Point Road. The dirt bike was traveling southwest along the solid double yellow center line when the operator began to lose control. The motorcycle traveled off the roadway, crossed a gravel driveway and struck a Crepe Myrtle tree. The operator and the motorcycle veered off the tree and struck a metal sign support post causing the operator to be ejected. The operator struck his head on the sign support post. The operator and the motorcycle came to rest at the base of the metal sign support post.

The dirt bike was being operated by Cory Jermaine Mackall, a 27-year-old male of Prince Frederick. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The evidence on scene and witness statements suggests that Mackall had been consuming alcohol prior to the crash. Mackall was transported to the University Medical Center in Baltimore by Maryland State Police Trooper 7 and is listed in critical but stable condition. At this time alcohol, speed, and driver error are factors that contributed to the crash.
