A pickup truck and a motorcycle were involved in a deadly
accident this afternoon along Coastal Highway. Before the accident occurred, police were
attempting to pull over the motorcycle for a traffic violation. The motorcyclist sped off to avoid the police
around 26th Street. The exact
details surrounding the crash are unknown at this time. However, we do know that the motorcyclist did
not survive the crash. It is likely that
in attempting to evade the police, the motorcyclist was speeding and that might
have played a role in the accident.
Coastal Highway between 26th and 28th Streets is
still closed while police investigate.
As
we close in on the busy summer beach season, it is important to talk about
increased traffic and the higher risk of serious accidents on the way to the
beach and at the beach. This weekend is
Cruisin’ Weekend in Ocean City, which will bring in over 3,000 cars to show off
to the public. This is always a popular
event every year at the beach and results in higher traffic on the roads. Next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, which
is another busy time at the beach.
Drivers need to remember to remain cautious when driving to the beach so
as to avoid an accident as we head into summer.
