Police said Brian David McDevitt, 32, of the 7700 block of Tick Neck Road was thrown from his car during the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.
McDevitt was the co-founder of Anne Arundel Breaking News and Events, a popular local Facebook page and more recently a web page.
County police Lt. John McAndrew said evidence at the scene led them to believe excessive speed and alcohol on the part of McDevitt were factors in the crash. He said any further information is pending confirmation of toxicology reports from the coroner's office.
Two other men, 18 and 19, suffered minor injuries in the crash and were taken by ambulance to Baltimore Washington Medical Center. They were in a 1997 BMW 528i.
Police said Brandon Patrick O’Malley, 18, of the 2900 block of Golden Fleece Drive in Pasadena was the driver of the BMW.
Spencer Anthony Blake, 19, of the 7800 block of Leonardo Court in Pasadena was a passenger in the front seat, according to the report.
Officers responded to a call at about 12:45 a.m. and said they found McDevitt’s Acura several hundred feet away from the BMW. It was off the road and on its roof.
Police said the Acura was traveling north on Fort Smallwood Road when it went out of control and began to rotate counterclockwise crossing the double yellow lane lines into the path of the BMW.
The right rear of McDevitt’s Acura hit the front of the BMW. The Acura continued for several hundred feet through a mailbox and off the roadway where it overturned, ejecting the driver and coming to rest on its roof, according to the report.
And who ever B is inappropriate buddy and his family would NOT be ok with you bashing these teens!!! They have nothing to do with this! Again everyone needs to leave their nasty ignorant comments to themselves! LINDA I would 100% visit him in jail if that would have been the case!! But he is FAR from a scumbag! He may have and I said MAY have made a bad decision in which nobody will know for sure until the investigation is over but he was a wonderful, amazing person!! No body's perfect every one makes bad choices
As I stated b4 my husband was in the horrific accident a few months ago and the investigators on that crash said they'd never know the exact speed if it wasn't for the 2 surviving victims in the car that were able to give them exact speed!! Also I have known B ALL my life I'm very close with him and his family!!!
Just a thought you gonna choke on tour words when the tox report comes back and he wasnt drinking?!?!
Thank you for your kind words and you are right I will remember the great person Brian was and stop reading this garbage people have to say! Thank you again for your sweet words
Times have greatly changed and I got to watch two good friends of mine go through nightmare DWI convictions. I do not drink anything before getting behind the wheel now. And frankly, in this current environment I really don't see how anyone risks it. There are good people, bad people and good people who do stupid things. Back when I got behind the wheel when I shouldn't have, I was a good person doing something stupid.
