Man Dies, 2 Injured in Truman Parkway Crash

Rain and wet road conditions may have contributed to the Sunday night crash in Annapolis.

 

A head-on collision on a rainy Sunday night left one man dead and two others injured, according to officials.

Police said Brian Michael Hendricks, 21, of the 600 block of Burley Road in Annapolis, died at Anne Arundel Medical Center.

Fire officials responded at 8:52 p.m. Sunday to a report of a vehicle crash at Harry S. Truman Parkway, east of Coover Road, in Annapolis, according to Lt. Keith Hamilton. They arrived on scene where there was a head-on collision involving two cars, with one person trapped. 

Police said the preliminary investigation suggests Hendricks was driving a Honda Civic eastbound on Truman Parkway when he lost control on a curve. The Honda crossed the center line of the roadway and struck a Toyota Venza, according to a release from police.

Rain and wet road conditions may have contributed to this crash but alcohol usage does not appear to be a factor, police said.

The crash remains under investigation by the Traffic Safety Section.

This is a ridiculous loss. The police need to slow people down. The State is so worried about revenue, why don't we issue some citations, get rid of people speeding and cure the budget deficit in the process. Who knows, our insurance rates might go down and I'm sure the gas efficiency would improve as well. Every road in the State is like a NASCAR track. Speed limits are a joke.

I don't believe that speed was mentioned anywhere in the above article. Compassion is what you need to be looking for.

Thank you Susan. It is pretty sad a lot of people have no compassion, I'm sure people would feel different if it was someone they knew! R.I.P Brian!

A young man lost his life and a family is grieving not to mention injuries to the others involved in this tragic accident. There was no mention that speed was a factor so instead of jumping to conclusions have some compassion instead of worrying about insurance rates and gas prices.

They were actually going under the speed limit to Adrienne's comment. There were many factors in this that were not controllable. Very sad and unfortunate!

Adrienne, I doubt you are the type who will read these comments left addressed to you, but if you do....maybe it's a good time to realize that you jumped to conclusions and were less than careful with your word choice. If this were an article on school lunches then it wouldn't have mattered but there was a loss of life here, a young life -even worse. He's probably in a better place than we are but the rest of his family might be in a horrible state of mind right now, and your words were just hurtful and callous. Put yourself in the other person's shoes before you spew other harsh words in the future. I would hope if you had it to do over you would refrain from laying blame and trying to drag the State into your personal finances of high insurance rates. Use your heart woman. Make your community a kinder place.
