PGPD Investigates Double Fatal Collision in Temple Hills

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a double fatal crash in Temple Hills. The victims are 34-year-old Delonte Antwuan Tobe and 31-year-old Shalaya Moore-Tobe. Both lived in the same home on Shallow River Road in Clinton.

On September 6, 2015, at about 1:50 pm, patrol officers were called to the intersection of Kirby Road and Tinkers Creek Drive for a crash involving two vehicles. When they arrived, they found the driver and passenger of one of the cars suffering from critical injuries. Tobe and Moore-Tobe later died at a hospital. The driver of the second vehicle suffered minor injuries. 

  

The preliminary investigation reveals the two deceased victims had just turned right onto Kirby Road from Tinkers Creek Drive when they were struck by the second vehicle. That vehicle had been traveling westbound on Kirby Road. Preliminarily, it appears that the second vehicle had crossed the center line on Kirby Road in order to pass two cars which had slowed down to let the victim's car turn onto Kirby Road. When the second involved vehicle moved backed into the westbound lane, it struck the victim's car.

PGPD Patrol Officers Pull Man from Burning Car

The 911 call came in around 12:30 am for a car accident in Suitland. The caller reported a car was on fire, but didn’t think anyone was inside. Two PGPD patrol officers responded to the scene in the 2000 block of Lakewood Street. When they arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames. Moments later, they realized the driver was still inside. They immediately began to try to get him out, but the flames were intense. Two additional officers then arrived on scene and raced to help. They grabbed their fire extinguishers, desperate to reach the driver. The heat caused a tire to explode. Time was of the essence. That’s when one of the officers used his baton to lift up the hot door handle. The officers grabbed the man and began pulling him out, but briefly lost grip when another tire exploded. The officers regrouped and with the help of a firefighter, they pulled the man from the car. Additional first responders now on scene worked to extinguish the fire. The victim suffered severe burns and internal injuries. The victim is in critical condition. Preliminarily, he is expected to survive.
