On July 3, 2022, at 9:41 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team responded to northbound MD Route 4 near the intersection with MD Route 765 (South entrance to St. Leonard Road), in St. Leonard, MD for a report of a serious motor vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. Upon arrival, it was determined a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle were involved in the collision, which resulted in the driver of the motorcycle being ejected from the vehicle.
Preliminary investigation revealed a 2011 Harley Davidson Custom motorcycle, operated by Paul Preston Gibson, II, 42 of Dunkirk, MD, was traveling northbound on MD Route 4 when it collided with a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander operated by Enola Gabrielle Bates, 23 of Roanoke, VA, that was also traveling northbound on MD Route 4.
As a result of what appears to be a side-swipe collision, the motorcycle slid off the roadway and Gibson was ejected from the bike. Gibson was pronounced deceased on the scene by the medical personnel. Bates sustained serious injuries and was transported to a regional trauma center for injuries received.
