MARYLAND — A 24-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle crash Saturday evening in Howard County, according to police.
The crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. April 18 on Marriottsville Road near Warwick Way.
Investigators said the motorcyclist, riding a 2014 Yamaha, was traveling northbound when a 2023 Nissan Rogue traveling southbound attempted to make a left turn onto Warwick Way, crossing into the motorcycle’s path. The motorcycle then struck the SUV.
The rider, a 24-year-old man from Hampstead, was transported to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where he later died from his injuries.
Police said the driver of the Nissan was not injured, remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
Preliminary findings indicate the motorcycle may have been traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Marriottsville Road was closed for approximately three hours as crews responded to and cleared the scene.
