Boozing Hispanics Hightailed It from Crash Scene
BLEW STOP SIGN AND INFLICTED SERIOUS INJURIES TO ELDERLY COUPLE
SUDLERSVILLE, MD. — Why would two law-abiding possible citizens who blew a stop sign and crashed into an elderly couple decide to beat feet before the cops showed up? Is it possible they feared being arrested for DUI and then found to be illegal aliens?
Maryland State Police report that on Saturday, September 23, 2017, at approximately 6:30 pm, troopers assigned to the Maryland State Police – Centreville Barrack responded to a serious motor vehicle collision involving (2) vehicles, at the intersection of Maryland Route 300 and Maryland Route 290, Sudlersville, Maryland.
