Boozing Driver Charged With Homicide for Killing Teenager

 
HUNTINGTOWN --- A teenager is dead and his 19-year-old driver is charged with homicide by motor vehicle while intoxicated, wrapping up a Saturday night of fun and turning it into yet another time of tragedy and unbelievable sadness for the dead teen's family.  Dead is Kevin Stavely, 17, of Sunderland.
The driver, who now will undoubtedly face several years in jail instead of starting his life with college or work, was charged with more than 10 traffic and criminal charges including drunk driving.  Speed was also a factor, giving this Saturday night booze cruise a footnote in the history of the Southern Maryland drivers who really don't care about anyone but themselves. 
Calvert Sheriff's officers report that on June 30 at 11:03 p.m. DFC Christopher Childress, other members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and members of the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick Barrack responded to the scene of a motor vehicle crash at Walnut Creek Road and Shelley’s Crossing in Huntingtown. 
Upon arrival responding officers determined that it appears speed was a factor when a 2000 Subaru was traveling westbound on Walnut Creek Road and the driver lost control of the vehicle.  The car left the roadway and struck the edge of a driveway becoming airborne, then slid across the roadway, struck a curb and came to rest in a ditch. 
The left rear passenger, who was not wearing a seatbelt, a 17-year-old male from Sunderland, was ejected out the rear windshield.  He was pronounced dead on the scene.  The driver, identified as David M. Clark, 19 of Churchton, was found to be under the influence of alcohol. 
 He was charged with homicide by motor vehicle while under the influence in addition to ten other charges including driving under the influence and failure to reduce speed to avoid collision. 
The driver along with a third passenger in the vehicle, 19-year-old Craig M. Gleason of Dunkirk, were both wearing seatbelts and were not injured in the crash.  Clark’s bond was set at $250,000. 
Gleason left the scene of the wreck, causing firefighters to search for him.
The investigation is ongoing by members of the Crash Reconstruction Unit.
