On May 13, 2013, at approximately 2:15 a.m., an Ocean City Police vehicle was hit by a motor scooter on Coastal Highway at 41st Street. The Ocean City Police officer involved was stopped in his patrol vehicle at a traffic light in the southbound turn lane at 41st Street. The driver of the scooter, who was later identified as Edward Thomas Johnson, 25, of Salisbury, then collided into the rear of the patrol vehicle causing him to be ejected from his scooter.
The officer involved immediately began to render aid to Johnson, who was wearing a helmet; however, it became dislodged as a result of the collision and failed to fully protect him. Johnson was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center by Ocean City EMS for treatment. His medical status is unknown at this time. The officer involved was also treated and released at Atlantic General Hospital for minor injuries.
Police are continuing to investigate this incident. Johnson is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol.

This is nothing. Wait until Ocean Downs starts pouring drinks until 4AM. There is no public transportation from there. The bar where you are partying closes at 2AM? No problem. Just cruise over to the casino in your car or scooter. In fact, the first billboard you see when turning onto Race Track Rd from RT 50 has a picture of 4 adults with adult beverages in front of them. Just drinking, no gambling. Party!
