OCEAN CITY, MD. — According to Ocean City Police at approximately 3:10 a.m. on August 7, 2015 officers on bicycle patrol observed a vehicle traveling north at a high rate of speed on the boardwalk near 1st Street. The vehicle turned around and traveled south on the boardwalk then turned west onto N. Division Street.

Shortly after, the vehicle failed to control its speed and collided with a condominium building in the area of Coastal Highway and 72nd Street. The vehicle crashed into and destroyed electrical meters and an electrical box causing electrical fluid to saturate northbound Coastal Highway.
