• Deadly Police Pursuit Ends In Fatal Crash; Driver Charged With Manslaughter (thebaynet.com) — A deadly overnight crash on Solomons Island Road, about a mile from the initial attempted traffic stop, is under state investigation after a fleeing driver allegedly struck another car at high speed. Investigators say the Nissan was traveling more than twice the speed limit with improper registration before the collision, and body-camera footage from the Calvert County deputy involved is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
