Bishopville, MD (May 14, 2025) – Maryland State Police from the Berlin Barrack responded to a motor vehicle crash with injuries at the intersection of Route 113 and Whaleyville Rd in Bishopville on Tuesday, May 13.

Initial dispatch information indicated that at least one person sustained injuries as a result of the collision. Emergency medical personnel arrived to provide on-site care and arranged for transportation to a local hospital. The severity and number of injuries have not been released at this time.
This section of Route 113 is a well-traveled route through Worcester County, commonly used by local and through traffic. It intersects with Whaleyville Rd near residential areas and rural access points, creating potential conflict zones, particularly during peak travel hours or when visibility is reduced.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the crash, including whether speed, distraction, or traffic violations may have played a role. Motorists were advised to avoid the area during the investigation due to lane closures and traffic delays.
We send our best wishes to those injured and hope for their full recovery.
Rural Highway Crashes in Maryland
Accidents on rural highways like Route 113 often involve a higher risk of injury due to vehicle speed, limited intersection controls, and reduced emergency response times. When these factors combine—as they may have on Tuesday in Bishopville—the outcome can be serious for everyone involved.
Route 113, stretching through Maryland’s Eastern Shore, has seen its share of crashes in recent years, particularly at intersections with secondary roads like Whaleyville Rd. These junctions often lack turn lanes or traffic signals, increasing the likelihood of side-impact or rear-end collisions when drivers misjudge oncoming traffic or stop unexpectedly.
Victims of rural highway crashes may face longer recovery periods and more difficulty accessing immediate care. Beyond physical injuries, individuals must deal with insurance complications, transportation disruption, and the emotional toll of a high-impact crash.
Seeking medical attention and legal guidance early can be crucial for a full recovery and protection of your rights. Whether it involves documenting the incident, understanding fault, or navigating post-crash expenses, timely action makes a difference.
