The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal motorcycle collision that occurred Saturday morning. The deceased rider is 64-year-old Douglas Pipkin of Waldorf.


On November 6, 2021, at approximately 10:45 am, officers responded to the intersection of Indian Head Highway and Old Fort Road for a collision involving two motorcycles and a car. Just prior to the collision, Pipkin and the second motorcyclist were heading northbound on Indian Head Highway.

The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the involved car had been stopped in the dedicated left turn at the intersection of Old Fort Road. Preliminarily, it appears the car’s driver attempted to exit that left turn late and merge back into northbound lanes of Indian Head Highway. Her car collided with Pipkin’s motorcycle. That collision caused the second motorcycle to strike Pipkin’s motorcycle as well. The driver and the second motorcyclist were not injured. Pipkin was pronounced dead on the scene.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at 301-731-4422.

PGPD Investiga Mortal Choque de Motocicleta en Fort Washington


La Unidad de Análisis y Reconstrucción de Choques del Departamento de la Policía del Condado de Prince George’s investiga un mortal choque de motocicleta que ocurrió el sábado en la mañana. El fenecido motociclista fue identificado como Douglas Pipkin, de 64 años y vecino de Waldorf.

El 6 de noviembre de 2021, a eso de las 10:45 am, oficiales acudieron a la intersección entre Indian Head Highway y Old Fort Road para atender un choque entre dos motocicletas y un auto. Justo antes del choque, Pipkin y el segundo motociclista se dirigían en dirección norte sobre Indian Head Highway.

La investigación preliminar reveló que el conductor del vehículo se había detenido en el carril exclusivo de virajes a la izquierda de Old Fort Road. De manera preliminar, parece ser que el conductor del vehículo intentó salir de ese carril tardíamente e insertarse nuevamente en los carriles de dirección norte de Indian Head Highway. Su auto chocó con la motocicleta de Pipkin. Ese choque provocó que la segunda motocicleta también chocara con la de Pipkin. El conductor y el segundo motociclista no resultaron heridos. A Pipkin le declararon muerto en la escena.
