Andrew Francis Evans II, 43, was pronounced dead at the scene of the Dec. 9 crash after veering off the road on MD Rt. 4 near Cedarwood Lane in Dunkirk, officials said.

The chaos unfolded around 2:20 p.m. on Monday, when Evans’ GMC Yukon reportedly drifted off the southbound side of Rt. 4 near Lyons Creek Road, and struck a speed limit sign in the grassy shoulder.

Witnesses told deputies the SUV returned to the road, swerving between lanes at at high speeds, before careening across the median near Ashwood Drive and coming to rest after slamming into a tree near Cedarwood Lane.

Evans was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders.

Investigators say they suspect speed and a potential medical emergency contributed to the deadly crash.

The Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team is leading the investigation.
