Victim ID'ed In Fatal Rockville Crash Involving MoCo Deputies

ROCKVILLE, MD — The Maryland attorney general's office on Tuesday identified two Montgomery County deputies involved in an attempted traffic stop that ended in a crash that claimed the life of an Adelphi woman.

According to Attorney General Anthony Brown, Montgomery County deputies Connor Clifford and Paul Nelson were patrolling near Rockville Pike and Flanders Avenue shortly before 2:30 a.m. Saturday when a Dodge sedan drove by them at a high rate of speed.

After activating their emergency equipment, prosecutors said the deputies came upon a two-car crash near the intersection of Rockville Pike and Twinbrook Parkway while attempting to locate the Dodge. According to investigators, the driver of the Dodge had collided with a Honda sedan as its driver turned southbound on Rockville Pike.

The driver of the Honda — identified by prosecutors as 25-year-old Jasmin Gimon — was killed in the crash, authorities said.

Authorities said the driver of the Dodge — identified only as an adult man — fled the crash scene on foot and was apprehended by police a short time later.

A passenger in the Dodge was also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, authorities said.

No charges have been filed to date.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact state investigators at 410-576-7070 or by email at IID@oag.state.md.us.
