St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office Investigating Fatal Motor Vehicle Collision

On March 25, 2017, at approximately 2:18 am, patrol units responded to a serious motor vehicle collision on Loveville Road in the area of Lenny Penny Lane in Loveville. Deputies located a 1999 Ford F-350 pickup truck in the roadway. The operator, Franklin Irvin Bowles, age 27 of Loveville, was pronounced deceased by EMS personnel.

The St. Mary's County Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and continued the investigation. The initial investigation revealed the vehicle was traveling northbound on Loveville Road when for unknown reasons the vehicle crossed the centerline and left the roadway. Upon leaving the roadway, the vehicle struck a tree and fence.
