At approximately 9:00 p.m. last night, a trooper from the Annapolis Barrack responded to a crash in the area of westbound Route 50 and Maryland Route 424. Upon his arrival, a white Honda Civic was found in the woods, off of the Route 424 exit ramp in Davidsonville.

About ten minutes prior to the crash, the same vehicle passed a state trooper in an unmarked patrol car on westbound Route 50 at a high rate of speed.  The trooper activated his emergency equipment and attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, which is believed to have been exceeding 100 mph.

Moments later, the Glen Burnie Barrack received a report of a crash off of the exit ramp for Maryland Route 424. The vehicle, identified as a Honda Civic, is believed to be the same vehicle that failed to stop.
