On Saturday night, December 24, a Maryland State Police trooper, was injured while in the course of his duties.
The police trooper from the North East barracks was investigating a fatal accident in Cecil County, Maryland, where a two vehicle crash on Pulaski Highway, resulted in the death of 74 year old Estel Privett, of Cecil County.
Also present at the scene were Maryland State Police and the Maryland State Highway Administration who closed the roadway in order that the investigators could work the scene.
As the investigators were doing their job, about 90 minutes after the original accident took place, 56 year old Kevin Roberts of Cecil County drove through the closed area, ran over several cones and flares and hit a State Highway Administration Vehicle.
He then continued and hit a Police cruiser which was pushed into the investigator.
The investigator and Roberts were transported to Christiana Hospital in Delaware.
Police said impairment by alcohol and controlled dangerous substance were contributing factors to the second collision.
No charges have yet been filed in either collision.
