Maryland State Police Investigating Two Fatal Crashes On Eastern Shore

State of MD - Maryland State Police are investigating two separate fatal crashes that occurred on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on the same evening.

The first crash took place in Rhodesdale, Maryland. At approximately 8:33 p.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police Easton Barrack responded to 5948 Eldorado Road in Rhodesdale, Maryland.

A Kia Sportage, operated by Brandi Stoneburner, 40, of Princess Anne, Maryland, was traveling south on Eldorado Road when the vehicle departed the roadway. The vehicle struck an electrical box, which caused it to overturn.

Stoneburner was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The roadway was closed for more than three hours while the investigation was conducted.

The second crash took place in Millington, Maryland. At approximately 11:16 p.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police Centreville Barrack responded to U.S. Route 301, north of Maryland Route 544, in Millington, Maryland.

A Chevrolet Traverse, operated by Drew Satterfield, 19, of Middletown, Delaware, and a Volkswagen GTI, operated by Easton Bryant, 22, of Chester, Maryland, were both traveling north on U.S. Route 301.

The Volkswagen struck the Chevrolet from the rear, causing the Chevrolet to leave the roadway and overturn into a wooded area. Police believe that speeding and impairment may have been factors in the crash.

Satterfield was pronounced deceased at the scene. Bryant was transported by Maryland State Police Aviation Command's Trooper 1 to a local trauma center for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.

Charges may be pending the outcome of the investigation and further consultation with the Office of the State's Attorney in Queen Anne's County. The roadway was closed for more than two hours.
