On Tuesday, September 26, 2023. a Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a white Ford Mustang for traffic violations when the operator fled at a high rate of speed.
As deputies were about to cancel the pursuit due to safety concerns, the operator of the Mustang began travelling North in the Southbound lanes of Route 4 and nearly struck multiple citizen vehicles head-on.
St. Mary’s County Deputies were requested to standby at the bridge to assist.
A short time after Calvert requested St. Mary’s County, the suspect lost control of the vehicle and travelled off the Southbound lanes of Route 4 into a grassy area where the operator fled on foot.
