Examples of the vehicle type

 On Friday, April 16, 2021 at 6:13 am, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 27000 block of Three Notch Road in Mechanicsville for the report of a person lying on the ground off the southbound shoulder of the roadway. Upon arrival, deputies located an unidentified male lying in the grass who was pronounced deceased. Investigation determined there was evidence to suggest the unidentified male was struck by a vehicle.

The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and continued the investigation. At this time, it is believed that a red Toyota Tacoma TRD pickup truck was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road and struck the pedestrian who appears to have been on the southbound shoulder.

The striking vehicle failed to remain on the scene of the collision and has not been located by law enforcement at this time. The striking vehicle should have front-end damage to the right fog light, center grill area and right wheel well. At this time, there is no further information about the vehicle or its driver.

The St. Marys’ County Sheriff’s Office continues to work to identity the deceased pedestrian and the striking vehicle and its operator. It is not known currently if speed or alcohol were factors in the collision.

Anyone with additional information about the collision or the identities of the vehicle, operator or pedestrian is asked to contact Cpl. Vincent Pontorno at 301-475-4200, ext. 72337 or email vincent.pontorno@stmarysmd.com or call the Sheriff’s Office at 301-475-8008.

Sheriff Joseph Lee Somerville Sr.

The men and women of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office escorted former Sheriff Joseph Lee Somerville Sr. on Saturday to his final resting place, accompanied by the Charles County Sheriff's Office, Calvert County Sheriff's Office and many other emergency first responders in St. Mary's County as well as other jurisdictions.

Somerville was the first black deputy in St. Mary's County when he joined the Sheriff's Office in 1966 and became Maryland's first black Sheriff in 1977 when he was appointed to finish the remaining term of his predecessor Sheriff Sanger. Sheriff Somerville then went on to win election as the county's top law enforcement official in 1978 for a four-year term. 

Rest in Peace, Sheriff Somerville.
