Catonsville hit-and-run crash kills young girl and critically injures pregnant woman
A hit-and-run crash on North Rolling Road in Catonsville, Maryland, last night killed a child and critically injured a pregnant woman.
Police responded around 9:21 p.m. when the suspect vehicle, traveling southbound on North Rolling Road, struck both pedestrians as they crossed North Rolling Road at Johnnycake Road in an easterly direction. The suspect vehicle made no attempt to stop but continued fleeing in a southerly direction on North Rolling Road.
“The driver made no attempt to stop,” said Officer Jennifer Peach, with Baltimore Co. Police. “We would strongly suggest this driver turn themselves in right now before we have to come find them. That’s the best case scenario at this point.” ~ Fox News Baltimore
