The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision
Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal collision in Upper
Marlboro. The victim is identified as 17-year-old Alex Edward Cole of
Derby Manor Lane in Upper Marlboro.
On October 28, 2013, at about 7:10 pm, patrol officers were
called to the 2800 block of Ritchie Marlboro Road for the report of a
collision. When they arrived, they discovered two cars had been involved in the
crash. Cole was a passenger in one of the cars. He was pronounced
dead on the scene.
The preliminary investigation reveals the Hyundai that Cole
was riding in was heading southbound on Ritchie Marlboro Road. For
reasons which remain unclear, the driver crossed into the northbound lane and
struck a second car. The driver of the Hyundai and two additional passengers
suffered non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the second car also
suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Preliminarily, speed appears to be a factor in this crash.
