Police Pursuit-Motor Vehicle Collision

On March 3, 2019, at approximately 12:44 p.m. law enforcement officers located Machiavelli Tyzhae Savoy, age 20 of Lexington Park, operating a vehicle in the area of Midway Drive in Lexington Park. Savoy is wanted on numerous outstanding warrants, to include Handgun on Person, Handgun in a Vehicle, and Loaded Handgun in Vehicle. Officers attempted to take Savoy into custody, however Savoy refused to stop and a pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, Savoy lost control of the vehicle he was operating while negotiating a curve on Pegg Road.  Savoy’s vehicle crossed the centerline of the roadway, and was struck by another vehicle. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and continued the investigation.

Preliminary investigation determined a 1995 GMC Jimmy, operated by Machiavelli Tyzhae Savoy, was traveling northbound on Pegg Road when Savoy lost control of the vehicle in the area of West Westbury Boulevard. Savoy’s vehicle crossed the centerline, and entered the southbound lanes of travel, where it was struck by a 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, operated by Carol Jean Anderson, age 87 of Leonardtown. Both operators sustained incapacitating injuries, and were transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital; both operators were subsequently transported to area trauma centers for further treatment and remain in critical condition. Located on Savoy’s person prior to being transported to the hospital was a loaded handgun; other items of evidence were also recovered from the vehicle. Additional charges are pending review with the Office of the State’s Attorney.  At this time speed, driver error, and attempting to elude arrest appear to be contributing factors in the collision.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or events leading up to the collision are asked to contact Corporal Brian Connelly at (301) 475-4200 extension *8031, or by email at Brian.Connelly@stmarysmd.com.

In an effort to promote awareness of state traffic laws, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office posts excerpts of the 2018-2019 edition of The Maryland Vehicle Law Annotated on Tuesdays. 

Adhering to the law will make roadways in St. Mary’s County and in Maryland safer for drivers, passengers, bicyclists, horse-and-buggy operators and pedestrians.

#TrafficTipTuesdays

Stopping and yielding:

Sec. 21-403 (b): “Stopping at entrance to through highway. If the driver of a vehicle approaches a through highway, the driver shall: (1) Stop at the entrance to the through highway; and (2) Yield the right of way to any other vehicle approaching on the through highway.”

“If a stop sign is placed at the entrance to an intersecting highway, even if the intersecting highway is not part of a through highway, the driver of a vehicle approaching the intersecting highway shall: (1) Stop in obedience to the stop sign; and (2) Yield the right of way to any other vehicle approaching on the intersecting highway.”

“If a ‘yield’ sign facing the driver of a vehicle is placed on the approach to an intersection, the driver shall: (1) Approach the intersection with caution; (2) Yield the right of way to any other vehicle approaching on the other highway; and (3) If necessary, stop in order to yield this right of way.”

The fines for failure to stop or yield at an intersection are $110 and one point assessed on a driver’s license or $750 and three points on a license if contributing to an accident that causes death or bodily injury.
