At about 5:45 p.m. on June 13, Maryland State Police out of Bel Air responded to the report of a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle on U.S. Route 1, just south of MD Route 136. According to preliminary investigation, a Toyota Sienna was traveling north on U.S. Route 1 prior to Route 136. For reasons unknown at this time, the Sienna traveled into the southbound lane when the driver observed a motorcycle traveling south on Route 1.
