A woman died after a single-vehicle crash on Woodyard Road in Clinton around 12:50 a.m. Sunday, and police have not said what caused the wreck.
Prince George’s County police were called to the 8900 block of Woodyard Road in Clinton at about 12:50 a.m. Sunday after a report of a single-vehicle crash. Officers found a woman dead at the scene, and police have not publicly identified her or said how many people were in the vehicle.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Police have not tied the wreck to speed, roadway conditions, impairment, weather, a collision with another object or a medical emergency.
A May 2025 CNS Maryland analysis put Prince George’s County ahead of Maryland counties in highway deaths at that point in the year, with 34 crash fatalities, far ahead of Baltimore County’s 12. Maryland’s Zero Deaths dashboard listed 176 reported fatalities statewide year to date as of June 27, and Prince George’s County Vision Zero considers the loss of even one life or serious injury on the roads unacceptable as the county works toward eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2040.
County Vision Zero materials use 2015-2018 crash data to map where severe crashes and injuries occurred, including corridors with the greatest bike and pedestrian crash severity. Officials have not said whether the Woodyard Road stretch in Clinton has been singled out for lighting, speed or roadway fixes.
Existing police accident reports can be requested through the police records section or the county’s crash report system.
In August 2025, Prince George’s County police identified 19-year-old Adrianna Alicka of Hughesville as the passenger killed in a single-vehicle crash on Tippett Road. A second passenger survived, and police said the driver lost control and struck a utility pole.
