Investigating Fatal Motorcycle Collision in Fort Washington
The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision
Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal motorcycle collision
that occurred Saturday morning. The deceased rider is 64-year-old Douglas
Pipkin of Waldorf.
On November 6, 2021, at approximately 10:45 am, officers
responded to the intersection of Indian Head Highway and Old Fort Road for
a collision involving two motorcycles and a car. Just prior to the collision,
Pipkin and the second motorcyclist were heading northbound on Indian Head
Highway.
The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the
involved car had been stopped in the dedicated left turn lane at the
intersection of Old Fort Road. Preliminarily, it appears the car’s driver
attempted to exit that left turn lane late and merge back into northbound lanes
of Indian Head Highway. Her car collided with Pipkin’s motorcycle. That
collision caused the second motorcycle to strike Pipkin’s motorcycle as well.
The driver and the second motorcyclist were not injured. Pipkin was pronounced
dead on the scene.
