Lexington Park, Md. — Emergency responders from Bay District Volunteer Fire Department Station 3 and surrounding EMS units arrived at a motor vehicle collision in a residential neighborhood on November 9, 2025, where a single driver struck multiple parked vehicles, resulting in one injury.
The incident occurred at about 9:22 a.m. in the 21000 block of Spring Valley Drive, a quiet street lined with single-family homes and parked cars typical of Lexington Park’s suburban layout. Dispatchers received reports of the crash with injuries, prompting a swift response from firefighters and medical personnel. Crews found one vehicle that had veered off course and impacted several unoccupied parked cars, causing property damage but no additional occupants in those vehicles.
Firefighters immediately secured the scene by establishing a perimeter and managing traffic flow along the narrow residential road, where parked vehicles often line both sides and reduce drivable space. EMS assessed the driver on site, determining the need for advanced care due to the collision’s mechanics, which included potential blunt force from the impacts. Out of caution, medics requested a medevac helicopter for rapid transport to a Level I trauma center, such as MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., about 60 miles north. However, low ceilings and gusty winds from an approaching front grounded all aircraft in the region that morning, forcing a switch to ground ambulance.
The patient, whose age and gender were not released pending family notification, received stabilization en route and arrived at the trauma center for evaluation and treatment. No updates on condition were available as of November 12, 2025. St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted with the investigation, documenting the scene for potential charges related to the cause, though details such as speed or contributing factors remain under review.
Responders closed Spring Valley Drive for about two hours, towing the involved vehicles and clearing debris without major disruptions to nearby Mattaponi Elementary or shopping centers. Investigations continue, with no indication of impairment or fleeing the scene.
