On December 9, 2024, at approximately 2:23 p.m., deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Unit responded to a serious single-vehicle crash in the area of MD Rt. 4 and Cedarwood Lane in Dunkirk, MD. A preliminary investigation revealed a GMC Yukon was traveling southbound on MD Rt. 4 in the area of Lyons Creek Road. Witness statements and evidence at the scene indicate the GMC drifted off the road, striking a speed limit sign in the grassy area to the right of SB Rt. 4. The vehicle then returned to the roadway and continued swerving between lanes while traveling at a high rate of speed, according to witnesses. Near Ashwood Drive, the GMC Yukon crossed the grassy center median and the northbound lanes of Rt. 4 before leaving the roadway again. The vehicle ultimately came to a rest after striking a tree in the grassy area off northbound Rt. 4, near Cedarwood Lane. The driver, Andrew Francis Evans II, 43, of Washington, D.C., was pronounced deceased at the scene. Vehicle speed and a possible medical event are believed to have been contributing factors in the crash. Deputy Anna Morrison of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating the incident. Anyone who witnessed the collision or events leading up to it is urged to contact Deputy Morrison at 410-535-2800 or via email at Anna.Morrison@calvertcountymd.gov.
