Police said their preliminary investigation found that Joe Odeh Dababneh of Silver Spring was driving a 2004 Yamaha motorcycle east on Route 198, which is also known as Spencerville Road. At the same time, a 26-year-old woman was headed in that same direction in a 2014 Honda Civic and the two collided.
