After Fender Bender, Driver Hits Man Trying to Swap Info: Police

HOWARD COUNTY, MD – Authorities are asking for help identifying the sedan and driver they say were involved in a hit-and-run crash that followed a fender bender, and they're offering a $500 reward.

Police said that two vehicles collided on US 1 at Corridor Road in the Savage area at approximately 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3.

Both vehicles pulled over onto the shoulder of the US 1 ramp toward eastbound MD 32. When one driver—a 47-year-old man—got out of his car and approached the other vehicle to exchange information, the sedan suddenly reversed, hit the man and took off, according to police.

The 47-year-old was taken to Howard County General Hospital with head and leg injuries not believed to be life-threatening, according to police. He told police that he had been hit by a black sedan, officials said.

Based on a piece of black fender found at the scene, authorities believe the suspect vehicle has extensive damage to its right rear fender.

Anyone who was in the area at 8 p.m. Tuesday, who witnessed the event or who has information about a black sedan with significant right rear fender damage may call 911 or 410-313-3700. If the sedan is spotted, police ask callers to provide a location and license plate number of the vehicle, if possible.
