GREAT MILLS --- St. Mary's Sheriff's Deputy Mark Clark reports that on 12-15-05 at 9:37 pm St. Mary's County Sheriff's Deputies investigated a single vehicle collision on Point Lookout road .04 tenths of a mile south of Adkins Road Great Mills.  Witnesses report that the driver of a 1985 Ford Mustang was traveling southbound on Point Lookout road and failed to drive in a single lane then exited the right roadside.

Once off the roadway the vehicle struck a tree head on causing severe damage to the vehicle and causing fatal injuries to himself.
There was no one else in the vehicle. Alcohol and driver error are believed to be contributing factors in the collision.
