Location: Ocean Gateway E/O Wallertown Road, Wicomico County, MD.
Deceased: Unknown male
Vehicle #1: 2013 Buick Regal
Vehicle #2: 2004 Freightliner Tractor Trailer
Vehicle #2 Operator: Petion Cetoute, 37 y/o, Pheonix, AZ.
Brief Resume: On 12/16/2017 at approximately 1750 hrs., Troopers, of the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack, responded to Ocean Gateway east of Wallertown Road, Mardela Springs, Maryland for a motor vehicle collision.
Upon arrival, Troopers found that a 2013 Buick Regal collided with a 2004 Freightliner Tractor Trailer. As a result of the collision the Buick became trapped underneath the trailer that was being pulled by the Freightliner. After the collision, the trailer and the Buick became engulfed in fire as they came to rest in lane two of the travel portion of eastbound Ocean Gateway. Preliminary investigation revealed that both vehicles were eastbound on Ocean Gateway when the Buick struck the trailer, being pulled by the Freightliner, and was dragged under the trailer for a short distance. The Freightliner and the Buick came to rest in lane two of Ocean Gateway. The operator of the Freightliner refused treatment at the scene.
As a result of the collision, and the fire, the operator of the Buick was pronounced deceased at the scene. The operator of the Buick has not been appropriately identified, and his name is therefore being withheld at this time.
The investigation is still active, and speed is believed to be a factor into the collision. The Maryland State Police were assisted by the State Highway Administration, and Mardela Springs Fire Company for the road closure

Pheonix, AZ? Where is that?
C'mon MSP, check your spelling before releasing official information.
How can they withhold a name if he has not been identified? Really!?!
Information is being typed on location of a total cluster in real time. Real life emotions, people asking several questions at once, road is blocked real life dead body's involved and YOU find mispelled word. YOUR job and LIFE are almost meaningless compared to be a GUNFIGHTER. The only danger YOU have in your LIFE is eating to many COOKIES. Have fun correcting my blog post while I get ready to FIGHT CRIME!!
Has not been appropriately identified. Talking with one of the guys that were on the accident with the FD the occupant was burned beyond recognition. So it takes extra time to compare dental records or DNA analysis of tissue samples. They’re 95% sure the operator is the registered owner, but until it’s confirmed they will withhold a statement.
Can you really be too dense to read what was published and understand what they meant?
8:46 These press releases are not done on the scene. They don't carry a ream of MSP letterhead around in their trunks with a laser printer. LOL You funny.
GUNFIGHTER. What the hell are you talking about Willis.

I don't think he knows what he is talking about. If he is alluding to the fact that he is a cop, that just causes me great concern if he actually is one. Mentalities like the one he is displaying is one of the bad reasons people do not like or trust cops.
Surely a professional police officer would be smarter than to come to a blog and say things like that and make the public think it is coming from someone who is supposed to protect and serve?
On second thought, it should not be a surprise. every agency has cops like this. Until they are weeded out that is.

Part of your comment is probably true about not printing press releases at the scene, but police do have printers in their vehicles.
