The Prince George's County Police Department is currently investigating a tragic two-vehicle collision in Clinton that occurred on Friday, leading to the death of a teenage driver and injuring two others. The incident involved a minivan and a pickup truck in the vicinity of Piscataway Road and King Gallahan Court.
Law enforcement officials responded to the crash site at around 12:30 pm on January 5, 2024. The deceased, identified as 15-year-old Shaun Shelton from Accokeek, was behind the wheel of the minivan and was declared dead at the scene. Alongside Shelton, a teenage passenger in the minivan sustained serious injuries and was immediately rushed to a hospital. Fortunately, the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The driver of the pickup truck also suffered injuries and received hospital treatment; these injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
The initial phase of the investigation unveiled that Shelton was driving a Kia Sedona minivan in the incorrect direction along the southbound lane of Piscataway Road. This led to a head-on collision with the pickup truck. Adding to the complexity of the case, Shelton's minivan was reported stolen earlier that day from Charles County.
