Sheriff Lusby and a passenger in the other vehicle were both transported to Calvert County Hospital where they both died. The trooper and the other driver both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Sheriff Lusby had served with the Calvert County Sheriff's Office for five years and had been elected as the sheriff in 1970. He was survived by his wife, two sons, and three daughters.
