GLEN BURNIE, Md. — Police are searching for a driver who fled the scene of a hit-and-run crash that left an 18-year-old dirt bike rider with life-threatening injuries Sunday evening.
Officers responded to Crain Highway near Main Avenue SW around 7:15 p.m. on August 3, where they found the rider of an unregistered Honda 125R dirt bike severely injured. He was transported to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
