Two accidents in Maryland Monday night claimed the lives of two motorcyclists.

A motorcyclist was killed Monday evening when he collided with a charter bus in Hughesville, in Charles County. The police have determined the cause of the crash to be the driver's failure to yield the right of way as the bus made a left-hand turn across the motorcyclist's lane.

Neither the bus driver nor the bus suffered any significant damage. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

Later on Monday night, a motorcyclist collided with a car in Germantown, Montgomery County (web|news), at the intersection of Germantown Road and Dawson Farm Road. The driver of the car was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries; police and EMS at the scene attempted to save the man, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital. Fault has yet to be determined in this crash. Two other motorcyclists traveling with the victim were not injured.
