August 4, 2023: On 08/03/23 at 4:56pm officers responded to the area of Three Notch Road and East Rennell Avenue for the reported motor vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. Upon arrival, the operator of the motorcycle was pronounced deceased, and the Collision Reconstruction Unit was requested to assume the investigation. Preliminary investigation revealed a 2012 Ford Explorer, operated by Christine Elizabeth Bowling 38 of Hollywood, was attempting to make a U-turn when she failed to yield right of way to the motorcycle. The motorcycle, a 2023 Kawasaki ZX636 operated by Jake Alexander Garrett 28 of Lexington Park, collided with the Explorer, causing Garrett to be ejected. Garrett was pronounced deceased on the scene and Bowling was transported to an area hospital for treatment. At this time speed appears to be a contributing factor in the collision. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or events leading up to the collision are asked to contact Cpl. Shawn Shelko at (301) 475- 4200 Ext. 8147 or by email at Shawn.Shelko@stmaryscountymd.gov.
