On November 13, a trucker driving through Maryland was hit and killed by a Maryland State Police cruiser while he was walking on Interstate 68.
A 39-year-old truck driver from Orlando, Florida had left his immobilized tractor-trailer, trying to unhook the trailer on eastbound I-68 in Garrett County. When he returned to the cab, a piece of paper flew out into the road. The truck driver went to chase the paper down on the snowy, dimly-lit road when he was struck by an oncoming state police cruiser.
The truck driver was taken to the Western Maryland Health System for his injuries where he later died. The trooper driving the police cruiser was not injured in the crash. An investigation into the fatal pedestrian accident is ongoing.
My Loved One Was Killed in a Pedestrian Accident and I Need a Lawyer
Of all car accidents, pedestrian car accidents can be the most devastating because they involve at least one person who is unprotected by a motor vehicle. Car accidents kill over 30,000 annually, and car accident injuries can cause death long after the accident occurs.
