Deadly Hit And Run On I-95 In Howard County Among Unsolved Cases
Troopers are investigating multiple fatal hit-and-run incidents in recent months on area highways, according to Maryland State Police.
Police in Maryland continue to investigate a number of deadly hit-and-run crashes in the Baltimore area in recent weeks. One month ago, police said a driver hit three people on Interstate 95 near Route 100 in Howard County and fled. Two of those who were hit were in critical condition but later recovered, but one man died.
Just after 9 p.m. on September 27, Russell Eggleton was on his way home with his family when his vehicle hit an SUV that was halfway on the shoulder and halfway in the road. That Nissan SUV had reportedly hit a deer. Eggleton, an EMT, stepped out to help, but in the process, he was hit and killed. He and his family were passing through Maryland on their way home to Virginia following a vacation.
