Upper Marlboro Man Killed In Motorcycle Crash: Police

LAUREL, MD — An Upper Marlboro man died Tuesday afternoon in a motorcycle crash on the westbound MD-198 to southbound Interstate-95 in Prince Georges County, according to a Maryland State Police release. The deceased victim, 33-year-old Damien Dickerson, was pronounced dead on the scene.

Around 3:57 p.m., troopers from the MPD College Park Barrack were dispatched for the report of a crash on southbound I-95 near the Inter-County Connector. They found a single-vehicle collision with injuries.

Following a preliminary investigation, troopers determined Dickerson was riding a Suzuki GSXR on the ramp from westbound MD-198 to southbound I-95 when, for unknown reasons, the motorcycle left the roadway and crashed into the guardrail on the right. Speed is considered a factor in the crash.

While the Maryland State Police Advanced Crash Investigation team investigated the crash, the ramp remained closed. Members of MDOT State Highway Administration CHART assisted MPD in diverting traffic around the crash scene.

MPD is continuing to investigate this incident. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the College Park Barrack at 301-345-3101.
