Preliminary investigation revealed, a Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputy was travelling westbound on Plum Point Road when he observed two motorcycles travelling eastbound at a high rate of speed. After the deputy safely made a U-turn, the motorcycles accelerated and were observed passing vehicles on the shoulder. Moments later both motorcycles left the deputy’s sight due to numerous curves and roadway design.

Upon arrival at the crash scene, a black Suzuki GSX-R 1000 motorcycle and the operator were located in the grassy shoulder of the roadway.

Further investigation revealed, the second motorcycle, a yellow custom Suzuki sports bike, operated by Tyler G. King, 26 of Huntingtown, remained at the crash site and provided a witness statement.
