CHAPTICO, Md. (AP) -- The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office says a motorcyclist was killed when his vehicle failed to negotiate a curve in Chaptico.
Michael Daisey, 43, of Chaptico was traveling south on Maddox Road about 1:45 p.m. Saturday. Deputies say Daisey passed a vehicle and failed to negotiate a curve.
