BALTIMORE, Md. — A man suspected in an early morning armed carjacking was injured in a crash hours later Thursday while driving the stolen vehicle, according to Baltimore police.

At approximately 10:58 a.m., officers responded to a crash involving injuries at South Hanover and West Cromwell Street. When they arrived, they discovered the same Honda Civic had collided with a tractor-trailer. The male driver, who has not yet been identified, was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
