Hit-And-Run At Bay Bridge Hospitalizes 1, Sparks Search For Trucker: Police

QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY, MD — Police are searching for a trucker after a four-vehicle, hit-and-run crash at the Bay Bridge that hospitalized a driver this week.

The Maryland Transportation Authority Police said the wreck happened Tuesday around 6:40 p.m. in Queen Anne's County, near the westbound span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Since-deleted fire department photos showed that the accident happened a few feet from the start of the bridge.

The MDTA Police said a black Scion tC, a silver Jeep Wrangler and a gold Honda Odyssey were involved in the collision.

The driver of the Scion suffered serious injuries and was flown to the hospital, officers said.

Authorities think a tractor-trailer was also involved in the crash and struck the Scion.

Police said the driver of the tractor-trailer didn't stop at the scene and continued onto the westbound span of the Bay Bridge.

Investigators are trying to identify the involved tractor-trailer and its driver.

The MDTA Police asked anybody who witnessed the crash to call 410-295-8146.

The Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department said it found one driver trapped and extricated them in under 8 minutes.

Queen Anne's County paramedics treated the driver, firefighters said. The Naval Support Activity Annapolis Fire Department established a landing site for the medevac helicopter at the Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville.

Maryland State Police Aviation Command flew the driver to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Kent Island volunteers said.

Crews said Annapolis Fire Department paramedics evaluated another driver who refused transport.

WBAL-TV obtained traffic camera video, posted here. The fire department thinks the tape may help identify the driver.
