Gaithersburg, MD
Caleb Jacob Alie turned himself in to Montgomery County Police on Tuesday, May 20, for his involvement in the February 19, 2025, crash that resulted in the death of a Bethesda man.
The collision occurred around 2:38 p.m. in the 2600 block of Olney-Sandy Spring Road (MD-108), east of Prince Philip Drive, involving a blue 2013 Lexus RX350 and a green 2019 Jeep Wrangler.
Through the course of the investigation, CRU detectives determined that directly before impact, Alie was driving his Jeep Wrangler 86 mph in a 40-mph zone, using right-turn-only lanes to pass vehicles stopped at red lights and weaving through traffic by making multiple lane changes. Evidence also indicates that Alie was using a cell phone.
The driver of the Lexus, 56-year-old Isadore Morton Gudelsky, was found unresponsive and pinned inside the vehicle. He was transported to an area hospital, where he later died from his injuries. An adult female passenger in the Lexus was able to get out of the vehicle on her own and was transported with non-life-threatening injuries.
