Baltimore City Firefighter Injured Days Ago In Motorcycle Crash Dies

BALTIMORE, MD — The Baltimore City Fire Department is mourning the loss of one of its own. Captain Anthony J. Workman died Friday following a motorcycle accident on his way to work, the department said. He was 45 years old.

Firefighters said the crash happened Wednesday. He was immediately taken to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland where he was initially listed in critical condition. He passed away two days later.

Workman, a 16-year veteran of the department, was admired by many, his colleagues said. They said he laughed often but loved and worked even harder.

"He was an outstanding first responder that was a pillar of strength, love, & unity within BCFD. He represented us well through the Honor Guard and many other ways. He will be missed," Chief Niles Ford tweeted.

Workman leaves behind a wife, a son and daughter, WBAL-TV reported.
