From Maryland State Police:
The Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal collision that occurred on March 2, 2017 at Route 22 and Route 155 in Harford County, Maryland.
On Thursday March 2, 2017 at approximately 0744 hours, troopers from the Maryland State Police Bel Air Barrack responded to the area of Route 22 (Churchville Road) and Route 155 (Level Road) for a reported serious motor vehicle collision involving injury and entrapment.
Preliminary investigation done by officials and a personal injury lawyer revealed that a white Volvo 850 operated by Mark Peterson of North East, MD was traveling Eastbound Route 22 and attempted to make a left turn into the Royal Farms. A gray Ford Explorer operated by N’Gai Naamone Lincoln JR of Havre De Grace, MD was traveling Westbound Route 22 when the Volvo failed to yield to oncoming traffic while making a left turn causing the collision.
A juvenile from North East, MD was seated in the front passenger seat of the Volvo and suffered serious bodily injury. Fire and EMS were on scene, extricated the juvenile male and transported him to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center with life threatening injuries. Both Peterson and Lincoln JR were transported from the scene to area hospitals. A personal injury lawyer has been contacted by both families for guidance on the case.
MSP aviation “Trooper 1” later transported the juvenile from Upper Chesapeake to The University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center located in Baltimore where at 1143 hours the juvenile succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation is ongoing and being conducted by the Maryland State Police Crash Team.
Prayers for this young man’s family. May some comfort help in the days ahead and strength for years to come.
Remember every time you get behind the wheel you are in a one ton or greater steel missile. Getting somewhere on time is a terrible excuse for speeding and never worth someone’s life.
That intersection is a death trap. About every morning, somebody has to fly up the right lane trying to beat the traffic through the intersection on westbound 22. If the police would force that lane into a right lane only situation, more deaths can be avoided.
Agree the state should place a barrier preventing cars east bound on 22 from turning left into RF, have seen plenty of wrecks there over the years.
JZ
The driving is never going to be better until the drivers of motor vehicles are charged and sentenced to the maximum prison terms for their negligence.
There’s nothing a barrier, traffic circle, turn only lane et all can do better than someone receiving a +10 year prison term for not paying attention.
I’m pretty sure that changing traffic flow is a more reasonable response than ten year prison terms for traffic offenses.
Nah. When people cause a vehicular homicide through negligence (manslaughter), they need to receive the punishment. No reduced sentence, probation, community hours.
I’m sure you’re intelligent enough to realize that I was not referring to (all) traffic offense.
Your comments are horrible suggesting the poor boys uncle who is in the hospital should be sent to jail. It must be nice that God made you perfect.
Dear dagger please remove Jack Haff’s callous and insensitive remarks
I never suggested anything like that.
If the Police investigation results in criminal charges followed by a verdict reaching of guilt. What else is there?
My suggestion was to give maximum penalty.
It’s just my opinion. Just because you don’t agree with me, you want my comments removed?

Now Jack claims he didn’t suggest it.Jack you are a disgusting person whos comments the Dagger should remove.
I suggest if criminal negligence is found, any defendants IN ALL cases should receive maximum sentence.
Hey Frank, that comment is still there, bro.
Hey Frank, I can’t believe you breathe the same air as Hitler did.
@ Haff, your comments are rude and inappropriate at this time. You are cold and inhuman. Shame on you, you are a very sad person, you must be so lonely that you have forgotten how to be a human being. You disgust me. Save your hurtful banter for another time and offer condolences and prayer for these families.
“@ Haff, your comments are rude and inappropriate at this time.”
Since you make reference to time, exactly when would the comments be appropriate?
Ms Moderate…when you are finished cleaning my toilets you can go back to your street corner. It must be cold wearing those fishnets out there.
Not to worry Bel Air Mom, I have your hubby to keep me warm.
Doubtful, he prefers reasonably thin to average size women. He not much for the big boned ones.
It’s not me personally that he is interested in. I take him to what he likes and then I sit in the warm room and watch him engage.
You disgust me. You must get off telling other people what to do?
Don’t fucking read the words if they bother you so much.
Its hard to know what words to skip since I don’t know what they say until I read them. I can say anything I want just like anyone else. And I can comment too. Just like the ignorant post you put up. Your language use actually shows your education/classless level. I bet your mother is proud of you….hahaha
Right, fish nets, cleaning toilets and street corners is something nice.
Exactly, you have to read first but you just keep coming back for more.
How many trolls we got here now?
It does seem to be a dangerous opening for RF. I think this is a good suggestion for road change.
Any one familiar with the area knows if you are headed east on 22 you make a left on 136 and cut through the BB&T parking lot to get to ROFO.
Route 22 is a high traffic area and when attempting to make a left turn at the Royal Farms area is extremely difficult. As some who has a student at HCC I know this area is heavily traveled. The MD State Highway system or police needs to seriously look into this area. I worry everyday that my child drives this route. I agree with statement above that this area is a death trap regardless of the time off day. Sending prayers to the family. May God Bless you.
Give your kids the heads up…

I’m just spitballing this but if they haven’t figured it out perhaps a higher education isn’t what they need.
I have been on The Dagger for a long time and a lot of the comments above make me nauseous. A young and very highly regarded student has lost his life in a tragic automobile accident. And his uncle has to live with that for the remainder of his life.
@Bel Air Mother
“Your language use actually shows your education/classless level. I bet your mother is proud of you….hahaha”
Pot meet kettle. Talk about language after insinuating that Ms. Moderate wears fishnets and trolls for dates.
