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?
The Hagerstown Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Team was called to conduct a thorough examination of the incident. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is continuing. Once the investigation is complete, the findings will be forwarded to the Washington County State’s Attorney’s Office for their review and to determine if any charges will be filed. No additional details are being released by the department at this time.
This incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety for all vehicle operators. Residents are encouraged to exercise caution when operating motorcycles and to be vigilant for motorcycles when driving.
