GLEN BURNIE, Md. – On December 25, 2018 at approximately 7:45 p.m., officers responded to MD 100 East just west of Oakwood Road in Glen Burnie for a crash involving multiple pedestrians.
A Volkswagen was eastbound on MD 100. A small group of pedestrians were attempting to cross MD 100 from the area off of Hospital Drive. The Volkswagen struck two of the pedestrians. The two pedestrians were identified as two teenagers ages 15 and 17.
17-year-old, Stephen Christopher Carlise was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The other pedestrian was transported to a local trauma center with serious injuries. The driver remained at the scene.
The preliminary cause of the crash appears to be the pedestrians unlawfully crossing a controlled access highway. There is no indication of excessive speed or alcohol use by the driver.
