“Fleeing Motorcyclist dies at Shock Trauma after striking oncoming vehicle”
Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland October 19, 2009 ---- At approximately 9:15 am, Corporal Mario DeVivio was patrolling in a marked sheriff’s car on Route 97 when a 2004 Yamaha Motorcycle, displaying registration plates belonging to another motorcycle, turned from Magna Way onto Northbound Route 97 in front of his car. As the Deputy signaled the motorcycle to stop, it fled a short distance reaching a speed in excess of 60mph, and turned Westbound onto Pleasant Valley Road where it disappeared from the deputy’s sight.
Attempting to relocate it, the deputy discovered the motorcycle had traveled approximately a quarter mile on Pleasant Valley Road before it crossed the centerline in a curve and struck an oncoming Ford Fusion, head-on. The motorcyclist, who was later identified as Edward Nicholas Dill aged 28 of Westminster, was thrown approximately 20 yards beyond the vehicle. The impact knocked Dill’s helmet loose, and he sustained abrasions to his arms, legs and hips. Alert and conscious at the scene, Dill struggled with paramedics as they attempted to treat him.
Dill was flown by Maryland State Police MedEvac to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he expired early this afternoon. The driver of the Ford Fusion was transported to Carroll Hospital Center as a precaution and later released. During the investigation, it was learned that the motorcycle had been reported stolen by the Penn Township, Pennsylvania Police Department on September 17th of this year.
Sheriff’s Office Traffic Collision Reconstructionists, assisted by investigators from the Maryland State Police CRASH Team are conducting a detailed investigation of the accident, which could take several weeks. Anyone that may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Sergeant Mike Zepp at 410-386-2900, or mzepp@ccg.carr.org
