Police Car in Crash on Way to Call

An Anne Arundel County Police car on its way to a call of an armed subject was involved in a crash Wednesday that sent four people to the hospital.

Authorities say the cause of the collision appears to be the failure of the civilian driver to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle and traffic on on Edwin Raynor Boulevard.

Investigators say the unmarked police vehicle, a 2007 Chevy Impala, was traveling northbound on Edwin Raynor Boulevard Road with its lights and siren activated en route to a call. The second vehicle, a 2001 Honda Odyssey, reportedly pulled out from the stop sign at the cross street, Pekin Road, into the path of the police vehicle. The police car swerved, but still struck the front corner of the Honda.

The police vehicle was occupied by three officers assigned to Eastern District and all were taken to the Shock Trauma Center at University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the Honda -- Donna Klebe, 76, of Pasadena -- was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center with minor injuries.

The driver of the police vehicle was Officer Andrew Rohe; his passengers were Cpl. Mark Collier and Cpl. Andrew Burger.
