Chesapeake City Bridge Head-on Crash


(Chesapeake City, MD) On February 21, 2020 at 7:20 AM troopers from the North East Barrack were dispatched to respond to the Chesapeake City Bridge on MD 213 for a two vehicle crash. Upon their arrival troopers located a head-on collision. The bridge had to be closed down entirely for the crash, emergency personnel, and the investigation.

Witnesses on scene advised investigators that a black Dodge Journey had been traveling northbound on the bridge when it crossed the center-line striking a southbound white Hyundai Veloster head-on. The Dodge and the Hyundai had no passengers. One driver was flown to Christiana Hospital in Delaware by Delaware State Police’s Aviation Unit. The other driver was taken to Christiana Hospital by a Cecil County Emergency Services medic unit. The names of the drivers are being withheld at this time pending notification to their families.

The Maryland State Highway Administration responded to the scene to assist with the road closure and to detour traffic. The Maryland State Police CRASH Team responded to assist in the reconstruction of the crash.

Witnesses to the crash are asked to contact the Maryland State Police North East Barrack at 410-996-7800 in reference to case # 20-MSP-007416.

How about just leaving us the hell alone and concentrate on crimes with victims instead of creating victims of the county for some easy arrest pickings and county $$$?
