Michael Alexander Jr. was 36 years old and lived in Bryans Road. Thursday night around 10:34 he rode his Suzuki motorcycle west on Maryland Route 228 in Waldorf. A Ford Taurus tried to turn left from the other direction onto Greenwood Drive. The bike hit the car hard.
The crash knocked the Ford farther down Greenwood Drive. It smashed into a Toyota Highlander parked in a driveway. Then the Ford hit a house right there. Police from the Maryland State Police La Plata Barrack got the call and showed up fast. Charles County deputies helped out too.
Alexander died in the wreck. The driver of the Ford went to a local hospital for treatment. Officers think the motorcycle may have been going too fast. That detail is still under review.
Lanes on the road stayed shut for more than two hours while crews worked the scene. State highway people handled the traffic mess. Investigators keep looking into exactly what happened that night.
Friends and family in the area now deal with the sudden loss. Alexander came from Bryans Road in Charles County. A regular evening ride turned into something no one saw coming.
The hit left marks on the house and the parked SUV. Neighbors nearby heard the noise late at night. Police ask anyone who saw something to call Sergeant Justin Zimmerman.
This kind of crash reminds folks how quick things change on local roads. Michael Alexander Jr. is gone. The probe continues in Waldorf.
