At approximately 3 p.m., Whitney D. Flanigan, 30, and her lawyer came to the Golden Ring barrack to discuss the crash, according to officials, who said charges are pending against her.
She was allegedly driving a 2001 BMW X5 that authorities said belonged to a family member of Flanigan and was located in Owings Mills. Authorities had issued information about the BMW earlier in the day in hopes of finding its owner, stating it had damage to the passenger side, Pennsylvania tags and a missing mirror, which was left at the scene.
Before filing any charges, officials say they must review the crash and present their findings to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office. Police are still investigating the factors that contributed to the collision.
