Fatal Collision in Accokeek, Md: Lamont Hoyer

The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is currently investigating a fatal collision that took place on Thursday night in Accokeek, Maryland. The driver who tragically lost their life has been identified as 54-year-old Lamont Hoyer from Waldorf.

According to reports, the incident occurred at around 9:50 pm on August 24, 2023. Law enforcement officers promptly responded to the scene at the intersection of Indian Head Highway and Farmington Road after receiving information about a collision involving three vehicles.

Initial findings from the investigation indicate that the driver of a pickup truck was attempting to make a left turn onto Farmington Road from northbound Indian Head Highway. Meanwhile, both Hoyer and another driver were traveling southbound on Indian Head Highway towards the same intersection with Farmington Road.

Preliminary evidence suggests that the pickup truck collided with Hoyer's vehicle first, causing it to subsequently collide with a third vehicle involved in the incident. Tragically, Lamont Hoyer was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

Emergency services transported both the driver of the pickup truck and two passengers from Hoyer's vehicle to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries sustained during this devastating collision. Fortunately, no injuries were reported for the third driver involved in this tragic event.
