Update: Gathering is Monday for Severna Park Teen Killed in Motorcycle Accident on King George Street

A Severna Park teenager Kelcey R. Silva, 19, was one of the victims in a fatal motorcycle crash early Thursday morning in Annapolis. Kelcey was a 2009 graduate of Severna Park High School and a rising junior at Towson University. There will be a gathering for Kelcey at from 2 to 4 p.m. on Monday.

The driver, Craig E. Eney, 20, of Annapolis also died on the scene,  according to a press release Friday morning.

The accident occurred at 1:08 a.m. Thursday at King George Street, near Route 450, according to the Annapolis Police Department (APD). The roads were closed for several hours while the accident was under investigation.

According to police, an officer stopped the motorcycle for traffic violations at the intersection of Compromise Street and Duke of Gloucester shortly before the accident. The motorcycle driver had violated several traffic laws, according to an APD news release.

When the officer approached the motorcycle on foot, the operator drove away at a high speed, police said.

The officer requested that neighboring police agencies be notified of the incident. When the officer arrived near King George Street, the Department of Defense Police Department was already on the scene, according to a press release.

"It is unfortunate that the motorcycle operator decided to flee from the police," Annapolis Police Chief Michael Pristoop said in the release. "His actions cost him and his passenger their lives. Our preliminary investigation shows the officer was within policy and exercised prudence and good judgment. My thoughts are with the families of both victims in this tragedy."
