Media summary: Around 4:30 p.m., Maryland State Police received several 911 reports about two vehicles — a Chevrolet Silverado and a Honda Civic — involved in a hit-and-run. At an intersection, the driver of the pickup truck struck another vehicle before crossing the grass median and traveling into oncoming traffic. The pickup then moved to the right side of the road and took off at high speed, with the driver of the Honda still following. The trooper activated his lights and sirens to clear traffic out of the way but was not able to get close to the pickup because of the high rate of speed, and the car still in pursuit. The trooper pursued the two vehicles, and when he caught up, he saw that the driver of the pickup truck had struck a utility pole, killing the driver, Mark A. Wieland.
