Edgemere Car Crash Victims Are Identified

Paul Luke Rice and Edward William Nelson IV were killed in the one-vehicle crash on Millers Island Road early Sunday.

 

The two men killed in an early-morning car crash Sunday in Edgemere have been identified by Baltimore County Police Department officials.

Paul Luke Rice, 38, of the 2600 block of Sparrows Point Road, and Edward William Nelson IV, 28, of the 8100 block of Dundalk Avenue, were killed in the one-car crash.

Police responded to a call about the crash at 12:13 a.m. Sunday, according to police spokeswoman Louise Rogers-Feher.

Rice was driving his 2004 Ford F250 pickup truck at a high rate of speed in the southbound lane of Millers Island Road, according to Rogers-Feher. Because of his speed, he was having trouble keeping the truck in his lane and went into the northbound lane of Millers Island Road.

Rice over-corrected, Rogers-Feher said, which caused him to lose control of the truck. He crossed back over the southbound lane, left the roadway on the western side and struck several trees before the truck came to a rest on its roof.

Rice was partially ejected from the truck and was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:20 a.m., according to the spokeswoman.

Nelson climbed from the wreckage and walked to the road, where he collapsed. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 12:40 a.m. by a Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center doctor who was consulting by phone with medics on the scene, Rogers-Feher said.

Speed appears to be the contributing factor in the crash, the spokeswoman said.

does it really matter if they were drinking? do you drink? All that matter is that two people are dead and those people meant a lot to someone. If it was your son or your husband and someone said "drinking and driving wasn't an issue..i know people who saw them drinking" how mad you be? would it really matter to you then? and frantically are you a police investigator? a detective? its none of your business. if you don't care that they died then don't comment on a feed and say something so ignorant. keep your comments to your self.

Luke was a wonderful person. Anyone's negative comments mean nothing to me or anyone that knew him. If you were at the viewing or at the funeral even an idiot could see that He had more people love him than I've ever seen in my life, So many WONDERFUL people in our community shed tears for two wonderful people who are no longer here. You are correct you do have the right to leave your opinion. But they are like A**holes everyone has one. Mine and everyone elses mean nothing to the negative comments left just as I assure you - yours means nothing to us. I will not waste my time backlashing anyone for theircomments...Luke was bigger and better than most people I know and he wouldn't want that. I love you Lukie......and my prayers go out to the Nelson Family.

Luke was such a great guy and a pleasure to know. His smile could light up a room. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest condolences to Luke's family, friends and to Eddie's wife, Jen, their families and friends. May you all find the strength to get through this tragedy and take comfort in the fact that hopefully, we will all get to be reunited with our loved ones someday.

Jen, I guess my question is why were they traveling at a high rate of speed as described by the investigators? Were they concerned at all for others? I realize the pain and the anquish. But we need to start to use situations like this to educate others what can happen when you break the law. No one is wishing you bad feelings. Not one person. And the reactions are quite normal under the circumstances. We have laws to protect us including your son. Tragedy like this draws us all back to that knowledge each and every time. May God's comfort help you at this difficult time. But taking it out on those who write here is not appropriate.

If mom my would have left my house 60 seconds earlier, she could have been killed. She was right there. She had to wait there until 4:40am to get home. Im deeply saddened by the loss of these two young men, but I am happy my mother was 60 seconds late, considering they would have went into her lane.

No Christina T its just that so many are so far ahead of you that you cannot see their point. The point being that they were driving in a manner that caused their own demise. And only by God's grace were other's not hurt. I was the victim of such a driver and I was lucky enough to be able to still be here to write this. Your comments are base and insecure at best. We need law and order. It's God's way. He gave us the law for a reason. Absent it and you see what happens. And this is exactly the place to discuss it.

You really can't help stupidity and ignorance of people....instead of assuming and making accusations about people....those close or even an acquaintance of Lukie and Ed know how much they enjoyed life...so instead of looking at what if? Why don't we celebrate these two men who were so good hearted and be there for their family's.
Lukie and Eddie, you both will never be forgotten so here's to you (raising a glass)!

This forum is just for such comments. Family and friends have the funeral home and the wake to try and comfort each other and come to grips with the loss. And it is a huge loss when even the least of us goes away. No one is diminishing that at all by asking questions. Your sensitivity is out of place here on this forum. We all live here and have the right to ask questions and get answers. No one is above the law and all have to account. If you were on the road that night and got injured by one traveling at a high rate of speed, you too would be on the other side of this conversation. And it is a conversation. No one has the right to shut other down with condescending comments off the top of the emotional head.

My family and Eddie's family would greatly appreciate if people would stop leaving ignorant comments especially when there FALSE! Lukie was the best cousin and role model I could ever ask for. He gave me the greatest outlook on life and to live it to the fullest. Thanks Buddy for all you taught me and being all you were. Play your music and show off all your talent... skate across the clouds! This has been the worse couple of days. And the rude comments aren't making anything better. Thank you to those that are leaving nice comments about Lukie and Eddie, means a lot to us. This has changed our lives for ever. Love You Lukie Rice

so, Laci do you think you are the thought police? You have no right to pass judgement on others or what they say. I've heard no "ignorant" comments yet. Only those who want to know what happened and are concerned for the safety of themselves and their loved ones. If you brake the law you have to pay the price. That's what happened. Nothing more, nothing less. Your pain is obvious but taking it out on other members of the community is out of place.

For all those who did not know Lukie and Eddie , I did!!! They were both great people!!! they were loved and cherished by all who knew them!!! I read a statement that some one had made about Lukie and they quoted him as being " Legendary " and that he was. Eddie and him were best of friends and they did live life to the fullest. None of us know when it is our time to go, and all of those people who only have negativity with their comments.. well you too will have your judgment day!! I only know this in my heart, even though it is filled with sorrow right now, both of these great men were chosen to leave us for bigger and better things!!! My heart bleeds for the families, and for our community because everyone who knew them loved them !!!! R.I.P you will never be fogotten, and you will always be loved Lukie and Eddie !!!

Ed and Lukie loved life, family, and friends. The world is a better place because we had the pleasure of their company. Even if it was too short. People can hate all they want, this is just the latest bandwagon they jump on. Those nasty people have to live wih that and lay their heads on their pillow at night. It is just a shame that they were not brought up with the respect any good parent teaches their child. So let that roll off your backs and smile. Lukie and Ed deserve a smile. Too many awesome memories to take from me! Love you guys. And keep your head up Jen. I love you and have your back!

I have lived on Millers Island since 1967.. I can assure you 95% of the people that go on that road have sped or had a few drinks. So people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... People are mourning the loss of a Friend. Luke was a Warm Soul & Free Spirit.. I didnt' know Eddie, but from everything I've read & heard he was the same. IT'S JUST PLAIN RESPECT TO MAKE NICE COMMENTS OR DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!

Stephie, you are not the though police. I've lived here for quite a bit longer than you have and I do still have the right to ask questions which may affect my life. Yes I said life. Your loss was a simple result of lack of common sense being used. And it could have affected me directly. So I do have the right to ask questions and make comments. And your loss cannot take that away from me. You sound like a high schooler with your dripping sentimental drivel. This is a public forum. The place for mourning is somewhere else. Plain and simple.

Yes, especially the ones telling others to shut up. And the ones using profanity or politically incorrect phrases such as 'faggot'. We need to remain politically correct and not make blanket statements about others even when we are mourning loss of loved ones. Patch should remove all comments that are telling others to not say what is on their mind. Else we have a police state and not an open forum. Hope you understand that concept.

AL: So he was speeding and it ended tragically. It was an accident, if you knew either of them you would know they would never intentionally hurt another human being. He made a mistake that cost them their lives. Have you ever went over the speed limit before? You are entitled to ask questions, but you see that people are grieving, and yet you continue to keep at it. Luckily, no one else was hurt or injured in this accident, but two great men lose their lives and will be truly missed. And for anyone else, let's not speculate as to what or if drinking was involved. Al, please just leave it alone out of respect.

AL DAY you are a complete idiot! You need to make up your mind. Is this forum for people to express their opinion or is it for your opinion and your opinion only. Re read your "comments". You talk about the law how it shouldn't be broken then ask Laci if she's the police because you do not like her comment. You talk about you have the right to ask this/that and post whatever you want and then tell others they have no right to tell you you're an insensitive POS. I don't care your kids read this. If you don't want people speeding in front of your house get off the net and call the cops. You're missing the entire point of the article. I'm sure Patch updated the article because so many of Lukie & Eddie's friends wanted to know what happened. They DON'T care about you or your kids. People are hurting right now and that's all that matters. How they died what they did or didn't do doesn't matter at this point. Later down the road maybe I'm sure it will matter someday but not today. Luke's Mom, Ed’s wife, family and friends are mourning this tragedy. I'm sure you don't understand because we will ALL be happy when you go! Also, were you there? The police can speculate speed was a factor however maybe he was having brake trouble. Maybe a deer crossed the street. We will never know why Luke lost control. All we do know is we will miss him FOREVER ps-I don't have a problem with the law. I have a problem with insensitive "people" like you. I'm sure your parents are so proud.

They are not the first, and will not be the last community members to be killed on our roads. Unfortuantely, it's a hard pill to swallow due to the fact that these guys were deeply loved and respected by everyone that knew them.

But no you hide behind a key board and prod at the people who are truly grieving the loss of 2 good men of a close knit community. Please think wisely before beginning to comment again on this tragic event yes we all know you have your opinions but this isnt the place when all other comments are positive and about supporting the friends and families of Luke and Eddie, I have known and been friends with Luke for 22 years and he was a great friend always willing to lend a hand at the drop of a hat to anyone who needed it, he was a great guy and had a laid back but positive approach to life and anytime you saw him out in a crowd you knew it was him by the happy go lucky smile on his face. I just met Eddie a few years ago and im glad i had the chance to know him, and for that short time we had become good friends whether it was in passing or just out among a crowd of friends. To the families of Luke and Eddie my prayers go out to you all.

You are asking everyone if they are the police, are you? And if you don't want your kids to see nasty words like the one I am going to use the ed of the sentence, you should keep your comments to yourself ASSHOLE :) This is not about you or your thoughts this is about 2 young men who had their whole lives ahead of them and they will be missed everyday by all true family and friends. Luke, I have such great memories and pictures that make me smile and that is the way you will be remembered.

Did you get bored pulling the wings off of flies and kicking puppies? Isn't there someone close by with an open wound that you can pour salt into? Maybe you could upload a video about Muhammad to YouTube since you're trying to play the God card?
Or you would really rather spend your time twisting a knife into the people grieving for their friends on this comment thread?
A thread that only exists because of our loss.
It would be nice if you go away and allow the majority of people here to vent their feelings and not waste our time with your pretend indignation.
Such a wonderful and law abiding citizen you are.
You've lived here "way longer" than '67 and yet your kids are young enough that they need you to filter their internet content and keep the bad words away?
Okay buddy.
Perhaps you would be so kind as to give a more precise location for your house so that the rest of us community activists know exactly where to slow down at.
I for one would feel just terrible if I drove past and didn't realize it was you.
Seriously, I currently have a knot in my stomach right now because I want to know so badly.
Help us to help you.

For those of us that knew Luke and Ed, we do not need to listen or respond to negativity. The person I originally asked to keep it classy had removed his comment on drinking. This Al character and any other negative poster obviously never had the absolute HONOR of knowing these men. We all will bind together and turn our backs to these comments as we know Luke would do because there is too much life going on to feed into negativity. Those hurtful and disrespectful words will never change our love for them so don't waste your time. Have a nice day. Love and respect to Luke and Ed xo

This 'Jen' character obviously does not read before shooting off at the mouth. If she did she would realize not one of my posts have said even one thing negative about her 'loved ones'. Quoting what the investigators said (the driver was speeding as in breaking the law and killed himself and his passenger). More than likely she like others who have gushed their emotions on this page are feeling quite guilty at this point because they all did nothing to prevent the death of the people they call friends. And of course anyone who doesn't gush along with them is automatically the enemy of those involved in the accident. It makes them feel better somehow in some twisted sort of way. By the way you might want to begin the healing process by getting all your other friends together and mentoring each other about the need to drive safely so this incident is not repeated by one of you. Even though you may disagree with my words you only diminish yourselves by lashing out at common sense. And if I were you I'd take a long look at your own lack of actions before pointing fingers at anyone else. You want to make yourselves feel better? Use some tough-love on each other to prevent future senseless behavior on the highway. Other's who you don't even know use the same roadways and are at risk. The loss is tremendous each time whether you know the person or not. Remember that when condemning those who are trying to prevent it.

I knew Luke from his days at Curley and being friends with my brother and various other SE Baltimore good people. My heart goes out to his family as he was a cool and kind dude. Luke's vibe was the completer opposite of the negativity noted above.

Did I just read all of this or is this a joke? Would someone (anyone) EVER come onto a forum about 2 human beings that lost their lives TRAGICALLY and down talk the situation? REALLY? Are you FREAKING kidding me? Whether Mr Al DAy is 50, 30 or a snot-nose little teenage PUNK - its uncalled for and HIGHLY inappropriate. My 10 YR CHILD would NEVER EVER think of down talking anyone or anything in a time like THIS or ANYTIME. Now, THAT'S COMMON SENSE!!!
I mean, REALLY?
I swore I wasnt going to fall to the hands of an evil person and react on here, but I couldnt resist - for one minute, I will be like you and tell you what a piece of S@#T I think you are for even typing those words. You're worried about kids, these 2 boys were someone's kid. If I were your kid, I would be ashamed to even know you right now - so befoe you say, dont say FAGGOT or whatever else - remember, they are only silly names one made up - your statements are REAL AND MEANT TO HURT. It disgusts me.
Karma is a B@#$H - and will be kissing you on the face REAL SOON.
OK - I'm done!

Lukie and Ed - May you rest in peace now and forever - which will be mentioned in your guestbooks, connellys page, facebook page and every other page where I can talk about your beautiful lives that were lost.

A very feeble attempt at trying to set the agenda about what this forum is all about. In fact the forum, blog whatever you wish to call it is about an accident involving two individuals who were by all accounts speeding down the road and lost their lives. While it is tragic others who did not know these individuals personally deserve to know how something like this could happen. And to get those answers so that perhaps the same thing can be prevented in the future. But the article says nothing about this being a condolensce log. All who live in the community are concerned for our safety as well.

Let's all join together & send Special Prayers to Lukie's & Eddie's families today, as today will be agonizing, hearbreaking & grievous for them. The viewing will make it all so real.

The Rice Family & The Nelson Family
May God comfort you & ease your pain.
May you find comfort & love from your many memories.
May the bond of family, friends & community relieve some of your pain.

yes, of course i speak for everyone just like you did when you kept professing your concern for public safety. I don't care about you AT ALL. i find your attempts to get a reaction from the people of this forum to be repugnant. And please, don't be concerned with my grief. I don't need/want your concern. I'm concerned for Luke and Eddie's family. Everyone here is supporting them NOT you. You keep making your comments about others hatred adn ignorance when it works in your favor. You don't find it ignorant to tell someone who's uncle just died "are you the thought police" really??? that's such a non hatred thing to say - right? Like I said before you and the pot and kettle.

Al Day, let me say that speaking as a family member of Eddie you are rude. There were many times you could have taken the high & stopped to realize that things you are saying can be considered hurtful. I believe your point of safety concerns were implied to those who also travel that horrible stretch of road. I am not by any means saying that any life in less valuable then anyone else,just because one I happen to be related too. You say you have children, but these 2 people were children were someone children as well. I pray that noone ever has to go through this,as the 2 families have gone through hell in these past few days, and we still have yet to bury our loved ones. So please, your points have been addressed, please stop with the back & forth bickering & things that can be misinterpreted to those who loved these 2 young men & allow our familys to grieve without anymore added drama. R.I.P. Eddie & Luke, you will truly be missed by all you knew you.

Christina, sometimes things in this life can sometimes be hurtful. You may think it rude but that's on you. I know better. More to the point is what can be done to make sure this doesn't become just another set of senseless deaths. I realize your pain. I've stated that before if you care to read my comments. No one can share your pain, though except other loved one's. The rest of us must carry on. And in so doing be mindful of what can be done to prevent future events such as this. Sorry you don't agree. Nothing rude in any of my comments, by the way.

Al Day

12:16 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Just the opposite. A thorough discussion of this event will only help heal. And the family members and friends are not the only one's affected by it. If you take the time after the funerals to actually read my comments none have been vulgar or coarse like so many of the so-called loved ones have. Furthermore, this forum is not here just for the friends and family but for the public in general. And we have the right to ask questions regarding the incident. Those of you who seek to stop such discussion only serve to avoid the recurrance of future similar accidents. My initial response (if you care to read) was to defent someone who asked about alcohol. Seems like a logical question. None of my comments ever accused anyone of anything. But in your grief you do a dis-service to the one's who were lost. And to the community who also use the roads.

I've turned this comment over to the authorities. It's against the law to threaten violence. This is a conversation not a place for you to vent your frustrations. You belong behind bars. And your comments are not in any way a part of this discussion, are not to the point of the article and are highly irresponsible. My comments do not need any defending. They are real, civil and to the point. Did it ever occur to you that this discussion may, for instance lead to some safety improvements to the roadway in that area? Your comments are purely selfish and not helpful.

Jenn

12:34 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012

al day - you do a dis-service to the human race. you really think any of your comments are going to help people heal. As I said before, if you are looking for answers this is not the place for them. this is an article written by someone with second hand information. I can almost guarantee the lovely person who wrote this article does not have all the facts. The police do not even have all the facts. the only person who does is god. he was there and he knows what EXACTLY happened. you didn't have questions you only had blame. you blamed a kid cause you read speed was a factor yet you didn't ask questions. you just had blame.. after reading this article my thought was maybe he went to hit the brake and his foot slipped and he hit the gas. i have never had a speeding ticket but that's happened to me twice. if i would have caused an accident is that how i would be remembered..speeding down the road. you do not know all the fact so you should just leave it alone. you talk of god then come here with your blame instead of trying to give people the benefit of doubt. speed could have been a factor but i can assure you the malicious intent you seem to think Luke had was not there. he was driving a 8 year old truck. anything could have happened.

Jason, this may be the only place for that discussion. Most such news items drop off the pages quickly and other events take over the news. I agree we should have some better place to deal with such issues like a town hall meeting etc. Unfortunately, in a short time those responsible for highway engineering will forget this. I worked at that fork and saw accidents there before but no one said anything and it took more lives. It would be nice to change that. That is real care for the victims. Yes high speed contributed, but all who know that location also realize the lack of safe roadway. Lighting and large warning signs would be appropriate as well as guard rails. And by the way I do not blame the driver. This was an accident. But if it happened in Hunt Valley or Towson there would be changes made to the road. Having witnessed carnage there before can anyone honestly blame me for being so adament about this?

I am glad that people are writing and responding though as it is going to help all. And any crude comments about anyone are not necessary and are not productive. Hopefully after time has passed you will be as pro-active and work to better the community.

Jenn, I've tried all those contacts your mention. I got a staffer or an answering machine and not even a reply letter. If more of you would write as well perhaps something will be done. My hope is that this will not just go away. That is a very dangerous place in the road. Senselessly dangerous. I believe it is a state road and therefore contacting the state rep and senator would be appropriate as well. I don't have their contact info on hand but it can be found with a google search. Together we can solve this. Those lives shouldn't be lost in vain. You all know I won't go away easily. Hopefully you will be just as engaged.

O-M-G! I cannot even believe the comments on this page and I cannot even believe they have remained on here for so long. What is wrong with people???? Al Day, you have contradicted yourself NUMEROUS times, you look and sound like an @$$! You are a complete F*cktard! And yes, I use profanity because no other "G rated" word would even do justice in describing you and your lack of respect for people grieving. "This Jen character?" Are you freaking serious? This Jen character is someone who is going through unthinkable pain right now. Regardless of their actions, they left people behind who have to find a way to move on without them. Bringing attention and some sort of awareness is one thing. Getting out there and helping and trying to make your neighbor a safer place is one thing. To blatantly disrespect and poke at people for a response is horrible. I have sons. And yes, I do the very best I can to teach them right but that is all I can do. I hope and pray I do it right. With that being said, I have no choice but to leave it to them to make the best decisions. People make mistakes. Unfortunately, two people lost their lives and leave behind unimaginable pain and suffering. Judging by your comments, I can only imagine the qualities you have instilled in your children and it is people like you...who think and act like YOU...that make this world such a nasty and hateful place. I hope for your sake your children don't ever make a mistake.

If you are really that concerned about your safety, you would be out there, doing something about it...not personally attacking families of friends dealing with a horrific tragedy. I have flagged ALL of your comments as inappropriate and sent an email to the patch editor and also to numerous individuals at the Dundalk Eagle as well. I hope these families can find some sort of way to nail you with harassment.

To Luke and Ed's family and friends: I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I hope in your own time and in your own way, you will be able to find some sort of peace with this and find a way to move on. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

This is a rural country type road, that winds & bends. There are deer, fox, raccoon, squirrel & many other animals that live in the woods & cross the roads at their leisure. Anyone that's ever traveled the road is aware of the bends & is aware of the danger if taken too fast. That's why these things are called accidents.. It's not meant to happen.
I personally don't want guard rails...This road winds through Black Marsh & this is what makes it so beautiful. If we have guard rails & such...next thing it will look like a highway, or a city street.

I only knew Luke, but no matter what the reason that caused the accident, it happened, we can't change it and it won't bring them back.

No parent should ever have to bury a child its just not the order of things. May time, and god replace the sorrow in all of your hearts with all of the wonderful memories of the past that you were blessed to have had with him. Ed you are a wonderful man with a good heart may god be there with you and your family in this time of need.
