MVA closes Route 5 in Calaway area

Jam out with ur clam out
He drives a dump truck and I think he use to or still does a bus........I don't care what the problem was. I hope to God he never drives again......

if he does... then he will have a HARD time getting a dot physical! He is too young to be "grandfathered" in under past laws

If you are diabetic.. yes you can still have a CDL.. but it has to be WELL managed.. and very closely by a DR. If by chance there are "Issues" like blacking out and unable to control it... they will not grant him the DOT physical! (trust me.. .they wanted to fail me for a medicine I take for migraines!! :cds:)

PLUS!!!!! lets not forget about drug test!!!

Is anyone with me that I feel the most sorry for the two babies that will grow up without their mother because of this?


Oh I am on your side as well..... but I know I can feel when my sugar is low..
and I know you can as well.. and when its high! :coffee: :love:

Yes I do and also for the other surviving victims of this horrific tragedy.



Well isn't that reassuring that he drove a dump truck & bus with a medical condition. :whistle:

Between that and his criminal/driving history I'm curious how he obtained and managed to keep a CDL and a bus-driving job. :confused:

Guess we should all be thankful that he wasn't driving either of those yesterday or we may well be mourning the loss of dozens of dead and more little babies would be mommy/daddy less this morning.

I see he was employed by St. Mary's County Public School in the early 2000's. Would this be driving a bus with children? Anyone know?

To hold a CDL, I do know he has to have a yearly CDL physical. :shrug:


I dont do mine every year.... Its every two or three years.

... :coffee:

BUTTTT.... if you do have a medical condition.. they may have you do them every year. I will have to ask my co worker.. he is diabetic... and still has his cdl... and works hard to keep it under control!

How long does it normally take for them to come to some type of conclusion on how exactly accident occured?

:nono:


Im sure since it was a fatality... they did toxicology... that take a little while to come back. dont know how long a blood alcohol takes.

but Im sure they did a "work up" on him... and if in fact he did have a CDL... oohhhh they will do their magic also!

in that full work up.. will show the glucose.. and if he was a diabetic.. he may have had some sort of 411 to let them know. If so... this would have been the first thing they may have done... check the glucose. :shrug:


this is just soo sad. I just cant get past the fact he hit someone before.. left .. THEY FOLLOWED.... only to come up to the accident.

Still how did he stay on the rd... and he was at such a high rate of speed...:coffee:

Huh what happened?
This...
Additional information was provided to St. Mary's CountySheriff's Deputies that the Chevrolet 2500 operated by Robert Rice was also involved in personal injury hit and run collision just prior to the fatal motor vehicle collision. Investigation has shown that Rice struck a 2005 Toyota Sienna operated by Sophie Newbury, 40, of Leonardtown, MD in the area of Point Lookout Rd. and Piney Point Rd. After striking Newbury, Rice continued northbound on Point Lookout Rd. and Newbury followed Rice to get his license plate number for the hit and run. She then came upon the fatal motor vehicle collision and stopped to offer assistance. She was transported to St. Mary's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries sustained in the hit and run collision.

daylily

no longer CalvertNewbie
omg... right

could you imagine... following someone .. and then come up to that

That's crazy! My heart breaks for the families/friends of those innocent women, especially for those babies who now have no mommy to love them. I have a 2 year old son, I just can't imagine some heartless pos taking me or my husband from him. This wasn't your average car accident. When you hit someone driving 90+ mph, it was intentional. I'm so disgusted.

A very likely scenario and much more believable in my opinion than a 'medical emergency' occurred on the part of the driver. And from talking with a few folks in the area it's what most believe happened. We'll have to wait for the investigation to finish and hopefully the truth will come out.

very sad....

Extremely sad and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the two young ladies killed in such a horrible way.

A damn shame...

Not even a year ago

12/28/10
EXCEEDING MAXIMUM SPEED: 87 MPH IN A POSTED 50 MPH ZONE

I'm not buying the medical emergency act either.

If you are sick, you don't get on the road period!
Instead, it looks like this dude had a problem managing his anger and keeping his azz out of trouble. History is usually a good indicator of the future...unfortunately, he ruined the future of two innocent women.
 
I gave him the benefit of the doubt until more info was known. I now discount the medical issue. He hit one car, then drove miles before hitting more. If he was impaired that badly, he would have been off the road and into the trees at the speeds he was traveling.
