On Saturday, December 26, 2020, at approximately 11:45 a.m., police responded to Patuxent Beach Road, in the area of the Thomas Johnson Bridge in California, for the possible impaired driver/traffic complaint.
Multiple 911 callers reported a blue/silver Dodge pickup truck ran motorists off the roadway while driving in the wrong travel lane. They reported he had also struck multiple roadway signs before being involved in a collision on Patuxent Beach Road near Patuxent Boulevard.
Officers arrived on the scene to find the pickup truck off the roadway with the operator unconscious and the vehicle in drive with the accelerator stuck, with the wheels turning in the dirt.
