WALDORF, Md. – On Saturday, August 31, 2024, at approximately 2153 hours, Troopers from Maryland State Police La Plata Barrack responded to United States Route 301 north of Maryland Route 5 for a report of a serious motor vehicle collision.
Due to the circumstances, a Collision Reconstruction Specialist (CRS) was requested and Tpr. H. Gardner, of the MSP La Plata Barrack responded to assume the investigation.
A preliminary investigation conducted by Troopers from the MSP La Plata Barrack and the Collision Reconstruction Specialist indicates an unregistered 2006 Suzuki GSXR-600 operated by Isaiah Noble (24 yoa) of Hagerstown, MD was traveling on northbound United States Route 301 north of Maryland Route 5 at a high rate of speed. At the same time, a Toyota RAV4 operated by Lucretia Jones (48) of Crofton, MD and occupied by Timothy Travis (57 yoa) of Accokeek, MD were attempting to make a turn from the southbound lanes to the northbound lanes from a crossover.
The Suzuki collided into the passenger side of the Toyota. Mr. Noble sustained injuries not compatible with life and was pronounced deceased on the scene. Ms. Jones and Mr. Travis sustained serious injuries and were flown by Maryland State Police Helicopters Trooper 2 and Trooper 7 to the University of Maryland R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland for treatment. Speed appears to be the factor in the collision.
Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to contact the Duty Officer or Tpr. Gardner at the MSP La Plata Barrack (301) 392-1200. The investigation is continuing. (24-MSP- 028524)
