Police Offer Reward for Elkridge Halloween Hit-and-Run Info

ELKRIDGE, MD - The Howard County Police Department is offering a $1,000 reward for information about a hit-and-run that injured a man in Elkridge on Halloween.

A white two-door Honda Accord with dark tinted windows was described as the suspect vehicle. The car lost its side mirror at the scene of the crash, which happened in the 8000 block of Green Tree Court in Elkridge.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Monday, the driver of the vehicle waited at the end of the court while a child went door-to-door trick or treating, police said.

After a black woman in her early 20s, who was wearing a Yankees hat with the "NY" logo, got out of the car and retrieved the child, police said the driver sped through the court and hit a pedestrian.

A 64-year-old man hit by the car was taken to Howard County General Hospital, where he was treated and released, according to police.

Several residents had cautioned the driver to slow down as they were having a block party in the neighborhood, police said.

Anyone with information about the vehicle or the people involved may contact the Howard County Police Department at 410-313-3200.
