A Cockeysville motorcyclist died this morning as result of a traffic accident that involved a Baltimore Police Department officer.

The motorcyclist is identified as Haines E. Holloway-Lilliston, 27, of the 200-block of Lord Byron Lane, Cockeysville, Md. He was operating a 2002 Suzuki GSX 600 motorcycle, according to a report by Maryland State Police spokesperson Greg Shipley.

Maryland State Police report that troopers at the Golden Ring Barracks were called around 3 a.m. this morning by the Baltimore City 911 Center and advised that Baltimore City police officer Timothy E. Beall, 31, was behind a motorcycle that was speeding north on I-83. Holloway-Lilliston had allegedly previously been observed committing traffic violations in the city.

Beall, according to Shipley, was operating a marked Baltimore Police Department patrol car. “Preliminary information indicates the police officer had witnessed the motorcycle involved in a possible speed contest with a car on Northern Parkway. When the officer attempted to pull the motorcycle over, the driver did not stop and continued north on I-83.”

State Police also report that “Beall was the only police officer involved in following the motorcycle. No other police units from the city or other police agencies were involved.”

“Soon afterwards, State Police were notified by the Baltimore County Emergency Operations Center to respond to a traffic crash on the ramp to southbound Dulaney Valley Road from the Inner Loop of I-695,” reports Shipley.

Maryland State Police and Baltimore County fire department and EMS personnel arrived on the scene where they found that the accident involved Holloway-Lilliston and Beall.

EMS personnel pronounced the motorcyclist, Holloway-Lilliston, dead at the scene.

The Maryland State Police CRASH Team responded to conduct a detailed crash investigation which “indicates the motorcycle was in front of the police car as both proceeded south on the off-ramp where the vehicles collided and the motorcyclist was ejected from the motorcycle onto the hood of the police car and then onto the roadway. The speeds of the vehicles at the time of the collision have not been determined,” report State Police.

The investigation continues as the Maryland State Police CRASH Team is conducting a “detailed accident reconstruction.” No charges have been filed at this time. . The completed investigation will be forwarded to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office for review.
