Motorcyclist Recovering from Crash in Kingsville

A motorcyclist is on the mend after crashing into a Dodge Grand Caravan Wednesday afternoon, according to a spokeswoman at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland.

Twenty-nine year old Victor Nathaniel Hodgin, of Bel Air, had to be air-lifted from Kingsville after his 2011 Yamaha Star collided with the van near the intersection of Belair and Goettner roads.

Hodgin was flown to Shock Trauma with life threatening injuries, although his condition has improved as of Thursday evening to serious, Shock Trauma spokeswoman Cindy Rivers said.

Accoding to Baltimore County police, Hodgin was driving southbound on Belair Road approaching the intersection with Goettner at about 3:14 p.m.

Maurice Melvin Kevis, Sr., 80, was at the same time making a left turn coming out of the nearby Lassahn Funeral Home attempting to head northbound down Belair Road, police spokeswoman Louise Rodgers-Feher said.

Hodgin careened into the driver's side door and came to rest on the east curb of Belair Road. Kevins, of the 2400 block of Old Mt. Road Central, suffered minor injuries.

The crash remains under investigation, Rodgers-Feher said. Fault had not been determined as of Thursday evening.

"We ask all drivers to be aware of motorcyclists," Rodgers-Feher said. "And we ask all motorcyclists to be aware of the surroundings at all times."
