Driver Faces Attempted Murder Charges After Ramming Car on B-W Parkway

Maryland State Police charged a woman with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and vehicle theft after she rammed a stolen van into another vehicle on Baltimore-Washington Parkway and then crashed the van into two more vehicles, reports The Maryland Gazette.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Friday, at least one witness observed a Ford van ram into a Volvo several times on northbound I-295 near W. Nursery Road, then crash into a Mercury van and BMW on the shoulder of the road. A driver who was trailing the vehicles caught the incident on camera and showed the video to police, reports The Gazette.

Emergency crews transported the drivers of the Mercury and BMW to Shock Trauma with non-life threatening injuries, according to the report.

Court documents show police charged Mary Madgeline Allen, 45, with two counts of first-degree attempted murder, two counts of second-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and three counts for theft of the vehicle she was driving.

Current court documents list Allen as having no fixed address, but a case from earlier this year lists Allen's residence as Norfolk, VA.
