17-Year-Old Driver From Accokeek Killed In Single Car Crash In Prince George's County

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate a fatal crash that occurred Wednesday morning. Killed in the accident was 17-year-old Christopher Sosa of Accokeek.

Not long after 7 a.m. April 17, police officers received a report of a single car crash on Accokeek Road near Gardner Road. Sosa and his passenger were taken to the hospital, where Sosa died that night. The passenger was treated and later released, according to the police department.

A preliminary investigation indicates that Sosa crossed a double-yellow line in order to pass slower-moving vehicles while traveling northbound on Accokeek Road. A Prince George’s County Sheriff’s deputy witnessed this, according to a police report, and he briefly activated the emergency equipment on his unmarked cruiser. The investigation suggests Sosa lost control of his car on a crest in the roadway and crashed.
