The Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, community is mourning deeply following the tragic and sudden loss of Amanda Regan, 37, who lost her life in a devastating single-vehicle crash in Calvert County on Tuesday night, April 14, 2026.
According to the Maryland State Police, the fatal crash occurred around 9:07 p.m. on eastbound Maryland Route 260 (Chesapeake Beach Road) near the East Mt. Harmony Road overpass. Investigators say Regan was driving a Jeep Wrangler when, for reasons still under investigation, the vehicle failed to properly navigate a left-hand curve in the roadway.
Authorities report that the Jeep crossed into the eastbound lanes, struck a guardrail, and then continued off the roadway before coming to rest against a tree. Despite the rapid response of emergency personnel and troopers from the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick Barrack, Amanda Regan was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of the crash.

Assistance was provided by the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, which helped manage traffic and secure the area during the investigation.
