1 dead, 2 hospitalized following hit-and-run of Howard County police vehicle in Jessup, police say

Police are investigating a fatal crash following the hit-and-run of a police vehicle early Sunday morning in Anne Arundel County.

A 2018 Infiniti Q60 hit an occupied Howard County police car around 2:15 a.m. at a parking lot in the 7100 block of Montevideo Road in Jessup, the police department said in a news release. 

The driver of the Infiniti fled the scene, prompting the officer to pursue the vehicle, according to police. The Infiniti then crashed into a retaining wall about a mile away.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other people were taken to a hospital in stable condition, police said.

Montevideo Road was closed at the Howard-Anne Arundel County line following the crash but has since reopened. 

The Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID) is leading the investigation. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at IID@oag.maryland.gov. 

Investigators say the officer involved was equipped with a body-worn camera, and the video will be released publicly in accordance with state protocols.
