Michael Alexander Jr. died Thursday night after his motorcycle hit a car on a busy road in Waldorf. The 36-year-old from Bryans Road was riding his Suzuki west on Maryland Route 228 when everything changed in a second.
Troopers got the call just after 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 29. They rolled up to the spot where Route 228 meets Greenwood Drive in Charles County.
Alexander was heading west. At the same time a Ford Taurus tried to turn left from the other way onto Greenwood Drive. The bike slammed into the car.
The hit was hard enough to shove the Ford down Greenwood Drive. It smashed into a Toyota Highlander sitting in a driveway. Then the Ford hit a house.
Police say speed might have played a part. The probe is still going. The Ford driver went to the hospital with injuries.
Lanes stayed shut more than two hours while cops worked the scene. Folks in the area saw the lights and heard the sirens late at night.
Alexander leaves behind people who knew him in Bryans Road and around Charles County. The crash cut his life short at 36 on a road many drive every day.
