According to a preliminary investigation, Garcia was driving northeast on South Division Street when he failed to stop at a stop sign where the street ends at Coulbourn Mill Road. Once in the intersection, he attempted to turn left onto Coulbourn Mill Road before the Civic struck a guardrail and went into Coulbourn Mill Pond.

Speeding may have been a factor, police said.

The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the ongoing investigation.
