Kenelm E.L. “Tim” Guinness, 82, a civil engineer for the World Bank from 1954 to 1975, died May 6 in a car crash on Route 33 near St. Michaels, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

A state police spokesman said Mr. Guinness was driving a vehicle that crossed the center line and struck another car, whose driver died from injuries sustained in the crash. Police said the accident was under investigation.

At the World Bank, Mr. Guinness designed large dam projects in the Middle East and South Asia, including the Indus Basin project in India. After leaving the bank, he spent fours years as a private-sector engineering consultant in Washington.

Kenelm Ernest Lee Guinness, a London native, was a descendent of the founder of the Guinness brewery in Dublin, his family said.

He served in the British army in the late 1940s and then received a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He had been a resident of Claiborne, on the Eastern Shore, since moving from Washington in 1990.

His memberships included the Cruising Club of America, a boating organization.

Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Jane Nevin Guinness of Claiborne; two sons, Kenelm Edward Lee “K” Guinness of Easton and Sean Guinness of Claiborne; a sister; and three grandchildren.
