OCEAN CITY – A wrongful death civil suit filed in federal court by the family of a local man struck and killed on Coastal Highway in 2017 could be heading back to Worcester after the plaintiffs acknowledged this week the Circuit Court is likely the more appropriate venue for the case.
During the October 2017 Endless Summer cruising event, Thomas Lawlor, 57, of Ocean City, attempted to cross Coastal Highway at 76th Street from west to east when he was struck by a Maryland State Police (MSP) vehicle allegedly traveling at a high rate of speed in response to another incident. Lawlor was struck by an MSP Ford Explorer
operated by Trooper James Price as he crossed the northbound lanes of Coastal Highway at 67th Street and ultimately succumbed to injuries sustained in the collision.

Interesting. Cause a death, wiggle out on a technicality and back out on the street denying the same to citizens paying the salary.

Without their badges and guns they're just P@ssies, waiting to be told what to do! raise revenue!!
Not where they need to go, but where they want to go
Maryland's finest lol should be held accountable for their actions just as every other citizen is. They are not above the law, but lots of them think they are. The fact is they have no one to hold them accountable because they are all on the same team with the same code of silence. This is one of the reasons why they are so unpopular with the public. The unfortunate law officers that have been targeted by thugs are paying the price for the bad ones that think they are untouchable
