I have a friend who's son was riding on a highway 55-65MPH was hit from behind and throw from the bike. Was thrown onto the lanes next to where he was traveling and was run over by two seperate vehicles. It is a complete miracle, but after a long time he is still in rehab, but he is alive. He was even allowed home for Christmas Day. He is proof that people can live thru this type of nightmare.

A three-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle on the Thomas Johnson Bridge this morning has claimed the life of the driver.

The crash occurred shortly before 9:45 a.m. on the Calvert County side of the bridge. The rider apparently collided with a minivan and was thrown under a pickup truck.

First-arriving officials immediately called for a emergency helicopter transport, due to heavy trauma. St. Mary’s County volunteer fire departments responded with assistance.

Traffic is jammed in both directions, and the narrow bridge is causing problems with access for police, fire and medical personnel. Responding medics from Calvert County were instructed to take the on-coming lane onto the bridge.

Better helicopter landing zones are on the St. Mary’s side of the bridge, but Trooper 7 helicopter was directed to the Calvert side due to traffic.

As of 10:05 a.m. the motorcycle rider was being loaded into an ambulance for transport to the landing site.

At 10:10 a.m. the rider succumbed to his injuries, and the helicopter was called off.
