Mechanicsville resident Xzavier Wendell Jameson Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash shortly before noon on Monday, Oct. 24 near the intersection of Maryland Route 5 and Minefield Road in Waldorf, according to state police investigators.

Troopers say that the preliminary investigation by members of the La Plata Barrack and State Police CRASH Team determined that Thompson was speeding in a 2013 Infiniti G37 north on Route 5 when he lost control, caromed off of the roadway, and collided with a tree.

It is unclear what caused Thompson to lose control before the fatal collision.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
