Name Released Of Pasadena Teen Killed In Crash, Driver: Police

PASADENA, MD — Authorities on Monday released the name of a Pasadena teen who was killed in a rollover crash early Sunday morning, along with the names of the car's driver and two other passengers who were hurt. Police say alcohol and speed may have played a role in causing the crash.

Anne Arundel County Police say Kyle John Watson, 18, of the 1900 block of Yorkie Avenue in Pasadena, was thrown from a 2017 Ford Focus that rolled over, and died from his injuries. The driver of the car is James Lance Sullivan III, 20, of the 1900 block of Venetian Drive in Pasadena.

Two passengers who suffered minor injuries are identified as Derek Justin Stumpf, 16, of the 8100 block of Buttercup Lane W. in Pasadena, and Dylan Tyler Stumpf, 18, also of the 8100 block of Buttercup Lane W. in Pasadena.

The accident happened shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday on Fort Smallwood Road near Devere Drive in Pasadena for a single-vehicle crash. Investigators say Sullivan's Ford Focus was northbound on Fort Smallwood Road at a high rate of speed. As the car rounded a curve on approach to Devere Drive, Sullivan reportedly lost control of the vehicle.

Police say the car left the road, struck a group of trees and rolled over. Watson was in the front seat passenger when he was thrown from the vehicle, suffering fatal injuries. The driver and two other passengers were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

Speed and alcohol may be a factor in this case, police say, and the crash is still under investigation.
