Story

OCEAN CITY- A major road to the beach was temporarily shut down Sunday afternoon after a series of accidents left one woman dead.

The Maryland State Police say the accidents happened at about 1:56 p.m. on westbound Route 90 near Saint Martin's Neck road. One car slammed on its brakes but the cars behind it did not. This resulted in a 10-car pile up.

In a separate crash, the police say Freda Wright-Sorce, 50, of Great Falls, Va., was killed after a head-on collision. The police say it happened when an eastbound Ford Explorer, in an attempt to avoid the above mentioned pile-up, crossed the median and struck Freda's Lexus SC430. westbound car.

Wright-Sorce was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore where she died from her injuries. The driver of the eastbound Ford Exploer, Jevgenijs Dunajevskis, 22, of Berlin, Md., was treated and released from Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

On Monday, WBOC confirmed that Wright-Sorce was the wife of Don Geronimo, syndicated radio personality of the Don and Mike Show. The show airs every weekday afternoon on 96 Rock. Monday's show will feature a tribute to Sorce.

Meantime, the police are continuing to investigate the crash.

No.

This is a real shame.

The show will never be the same - that is, if it continues at all. Love to listen on the drive home from work.

Granted, it hasn't been the same since it was sanitized a few years ago...

They already made a statement, they find no humor in this tragedy and ask those who do to consider how they would feel if this happened to them.

WTF!!! Radio DJs showing some class? Has hell frozen over?

Man, that sucks. They took Don and Mike off the air here about two or three years ago (the station carrying them changed formats). Don always spoke about his family, and his wife in particular. That just really, really sucks.

I found this quote from Jim norton.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Op, Ant, myself and the rest of the show staff learned about Freda Sorce?s death this afternoon as did most of you. We are obviously stunned by it. We?ve all lost people we love and it?s never supposed to happen so unexpectedly. People you love are supposed to grow old with you and fade slowly, not kiss you goodbye and never come home. I am sure the listeners understand that when something horrible like this happens, all meaningless radio squabbles prove to be exactly that; meaningless. 99% of the listeners will know this intuitively; I am explaining this to the 1% who may not. Freda was part of a radio show we went back and forth with, but more importantly, she was a wife and a mother. Don, Bart and the rest of their family have had their lives completely and irreversibly altered. We can control the way we handle and address things on the air, but we cannot control the way listeners respond. I am asking on behalf of the show that all of you display the same respect for Don and his family that we intend to. Not because it?s ?politically correct? or for fear of corporate retribution, but because on a human level, it?s the way any of us would want to be treated if it were our own families. jim
