Police: Driver Flees Police, Leads To Crash That Kills 1-Year-Old Boy

A 1-year-old boy is dead after a crash at a bus stop involving a car fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run Sunday night, authorities said.

Baltimore County police said the tragic sequence began when a man was fatally struck by a vehicle while trying to cross Pulaski Highway before 7 p.m. Police closed the road for an investigation and about two hours later, police said a Mercedes-Benz hit a police cruiser helping with the road closure, then fled.

Another officer pursued the Mercedes into Baltimore city, where police say it rear-ended a Volvo on Moravia Road, then hit a pole. The impact pushed the Volvo up onto the sidewalk, where a woman was waiting at a bus stop with her 1-year-old son in a stroller. The boy was hit and was critically injured. He later died at a hospital, police said.

Killed a man then later killed a 1 yr old? Are we sure that she's finished?

The story was confusing. The man was killed by someone else while he was trying to cross the road.

He'll be out in five years. Oh, wait he was driving a Mercedes. Make that 1 year, if he serves any time at all.
