From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
On Sunday, March 8, 2015, at approximately 1:21 am, Harford County Sheriff Office deputies responded to the scene of a single vehicle crash on Old Federal Hill Road near the intersection of W. Jarrettsville Road.
Information gathered at the scene indicated the driver of the 1997 Mercedes sedan was traveling north on Old Federal Hill Road, having just turned off of W. Jarrettsville Road where it appears the driver lost control of the car and struck a telephone pole. The driver, identified as Jonathan David Mickey, age 37 of Jarrettsville, was pronounced dead at the scene. There were no passengers in the vehicle. Mickey’s body has been taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit responded to the scene to investigate the cause and circumstances of the crash. Preliminary investigation leads deputies to believe speed and icy road conditions were contributing factors.
Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to contact the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit at (443) 409-3324. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Harford Resident says
This is a sad tragedy that need not have occurred. When will people learn that speed and icy roads do not mix?
Mike says
Did I miss the part about speed? I swear some people should not breed.
Huh says
Did you miss speed in the headline and the story? Yes, you did.
John Cornul says
Mike, you did miss the part about speed. It’s in the headline.
“Speed and Icy Conditions Believed to be Factors in Overnight Fatal Crash in Jarrettsville.”
Speed is also mentioned in the article body from a quote from the responding law enforcement agency that handled the scene.
They would not have released any information if they weren’t majority certain of their conclusion. You know, the PR thing.
Anyhow, how about coming back here, like a man, and admitting you were wrong? Also, how about an apology about your breeding comment?
derrick says
I hope you’re fixed. Talk about breeding. ..idiot
Hank says
Agreed. Some people should not breed….like the ones who can’t read headlines and articles where it says “Speed” was factor.
segram99 says
Mike, I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit…
I guess you did miss that part about speed…
Its mentioned once in big letters in the title and once in the article…
Guess you better talk to your parents about the breeding part.
Democrat Voter says
Mike, typical right wing nutjob. Straight to the comments with his insults without ever reading the article itself.
Middle aged, overweight, white american male too I presume?
Freestate? says
How do you know Mike is not a skinny, left wing, black, nut job?
Democrat Voter says
I’m well versed in tin foil conservative values. I am a higher, wealthy, educated individual who has only heard “breeding” comments from disturbed, demographic of overweight white males.
Carry says
Seriously?! Someone died! Let Mike make his mistake in his little misguided comment, he is human.
I’m awfully sorry this happened. My sympathies go out to his family. Let this be a lesson to myself…slow down!
derrick says
You assholes dont know the whole story. So before you you go placing any kind of comment realize the seriousness of the situation. A man lost his life, he has a daughter that will never see him again. And friends, family, and close ones, that will miss him. He was a much better person than anyone of you posting on this. you could learn from him. So think about this before you open your mouths.
derrick says
Who ever gave the thumb down shit go fuck yourself. I know the guy who passed away. Welcome to america. Bunch of bitches. Karma will catch up to you. Hope i don’t see you.
Hank says
I don’t get what your problem is. No one said anything bad about the victim. The closest negative thing about him was a general comment about speed and ice.
Maybe that’s why you’re getting thumbs down….this is actually pretty tame compared to some Dagger articles.
Walther Mellin says
Derrick, are you a drug addict?
“Hope I don’t see you.” Is that a threat?
Did you really imply physical violence on the internet? Tough guy, huh?
Lance Hersh says
This is a terrible tragedy for Mr. Mickey and his family. My prayers go out to his whole family in this difficult time. To Democrat Voter, you are an ASSHOLE. What the hell does this tragedy have to do with politics. If you have a problem with my comments, I’m not hard to find. LANCE HERSH
J says
It has not even been 24 hours yet people. Give the man a break everyone is still in shock and trying to process this.. It is crazy thinking of a world without Mickey. Tragic lose. Just remember no matter the circumstances these stories have actual faces with names, stories of their own, and a ton of people that they have touched. Reading any sort of negativity what so ever on here is a negative blow none of us need at such a tragic time.
Democrat Voter says
Ladies and Gentlemen, with your own eyes, look upon the comments. Obviously, mental problems, socially disturbed individuals. I can’t say anymore, words speak for themselves.
These type of people don’t know any better than to use vulgar language and name calling to bring their poijte to light.
Walther Mellin says
It shows the class of person when their “friends” come out of the woodwork dropping cuss words and threatening people on the internet.
The apple doesn’t fall from the tree, does it?
J says
ok Mr Democratic Voter…let me break it down for you because you obviously did not pick up what I put down…..you said It correctly……we obviously are all mentally disturbed….umm hello…like I said before we are all still in shock from the tragic lose of our friend. Our brains are not working properly. Your so called “polite” comments are rude in disguise. You are adding to our pain. Kindly stop typing and realize no one won this battle. Someone would not have typed all of those vulgar words towards you without having some sort of emotional investment in the situation. We are in pain and you are being an ignoramus. Btw I accidentally disliked my own comment, it was not anyone else agreeing with you. Hang in there Derrick.
J says
If you were any sort of smart you would realize that when somthing tragic happens people’s emotions are heightened and they say things that they would not normally say in a normal situation. The smart remarks you guys are replying with is only adding to the problem. Two wrongs do not make a right. Try to be a a bit more empathetic and understanding. I am sure if you were in the shock state of just losing a loved one the last thing you would want to see is a bunch of smart asses responding to your comments.
Walther Mellin says
I’ve never in my life seen anyone threaten others and use vulgar language in the mourning of an individual who passed away.
That’s normal for you? No one HERE said anything negative except to comment on the vulgar replies.
“Your brains aren’t working” LOL stay off the internet, and more importantly, don’t drive. I don’t need you rear ending me today.
Geep says
If I was in a state of shock I wouldn’t head to The Dagger to read the press release and comments to the press release (or any other website, but especially not here…)
It’s the internet. Like it or not, people are going to make dumbass comments and say things to deliberately piss people off. Welcome to the ’90’s.
Walther Mellin says
Don’t come here, and read the comments. Why do people do that? Purposely come and read comments they know they won’t like? Weird. Not only that, but people do not threaten others and call names because they are in mourning.
Pretty simple. This isn’t a funeral home’s guestbook.
John Cornul says
derrick, what’s the “whole story?” Enlighten us.
Also, “hope i don’t see you.” What exactly are you planning to do if you see me (in person?)?
for petes sake says
Nothing but a bunch of internet tough guys posting on here while hiding in mom’s basement.
J says
wow and I was being polite. Funny when someone asks for a little compassion you attack. Hope it doesn’t happen to you when you go to the news to read the article that your friend passed away you don’t scroll down and see a bunch of nonsense.
John Cornul says
I’m sorry, try again? This is public commentary, and when your Neanderthal friend comes here and uses the F-word, a-hole, ‘bitch’, idiot and makes a cryptic innuendo ‘hope I never see you,’ one opens themselves and their party to criticism.
