JESSUP, MD. (WJZ) — A New York man has been identified as the motorcycle operator killed in a collision in Jessup over the weekend, Howard County Police said Monday.
Carlos Ernesto Banos Galdamez, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene.
At around 1:14 p.m. on Saturday, Banos Galdamez's 2006 Yamaha was traveling westbound in the 10500 block of Guilford Road when it crossed into the eastbound lanes and collided with a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
