2 Severn Motorcyclists Remain Hospitalized After Crash: Update

UPDATED 2:50 p.m. Monday SEVERN, MD — Two Severn residents remain in critical condition Monday after their motorcycle collided with a car that turned in front of the bike, according to Anne Arundel County Police.

The serious crash happened about 10:30 a.m. Saturday on Quarterfield Road at Westphalia Drive in Severn. Police say a 2003 Hyundai Sonata driven by Alexander H. Radcliffe III, 83, of Glen Burnie, attempted to make a left turn from Quarterfield Road onto Westphalia Drive. Radcliffe’s car turned in the path of a 2009 Harley-Davidson Road Glide driven by Louis Eugene Manzi, 45, of the 1200 block of Kendricks Lane in Severn, according to officers.

The collision occurred within the intersection and both Manzi and his passenger — Amy Caroline Brim, 27, of the 1200 block of Kendricks Lane in Severn — were thrown onto the roadway. Both motorcycle riders were taken to Shock Trauma with critical injuries.

In a comment on this story, a friend of Manzi said he's in a medically induced coma and has multiple broken bones in his face.

Police say Radcliffe was taken to Baltimore/Washington Medical Center with minor injuries.

The primary cause of the crash appears to be Radcliffe’s failure to yield right of way while making a left turn, authorities said. Neither speed nor alcohol is a contributing factor.

Both motorcycle riders were wearing helmets.

The Traffic Safety Section is handling the investigation and any charges are pending review by the State’s Attorney. Anyone who saw the accident is asked to call Corporal Wilson at 410-222-8753.
