In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Upon their arrival, deputies determined that the incident involved a 2019 Suzuki motorcycle and a 2013 Honda passenger vehicle. The investigation indicates that the motorcycle, operated by 23-year-old Christoph Kenny of Ijamsville, rear-ended the Honda. As a result of the collision, Mr. Kenny was ejected from his motorcycle and sustained severe injuries. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by DFRS personnel, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the Honda was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this fatal crash. Individuals who possess any information pertaining to this collision are encouraged to contact Sgt. Rector at 301-600-6490.
