BERLIN — Maryland state troopers continued this week to investigate last Thursday’s fatal pedestrian hit-and-run crash in Worcester County.
Terri Wattay, 59, of Berlin, was transported from the scene by EMS personnel to Atlantic General Hospital where she was later transferred to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Police believe she was walking her dog at the time of the incident. The dog was not injured in the crash. Wattay four days later on Monday.
The driver involved in the crash is identified as Russell Kimball, 62, of Berlin. Kimball was the operator of a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. Police located Kimball and the vehicle at his residence on Grays Corner Road. Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation and consultation with the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Shortly before 8:15 p.m. Oct. 6, troopers from the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack were notified of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the 11000 block of Grays Corner Road in Berlin. Wattay was found lying on the ground off the north side of the roadway.
The preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle was traveling west on Grays Corner Road when it struck the pedestrian who was on the right side of the roadway. Evidence collected from the scene includes a right front side mirror and other parts from the vehicle.
That was quick. NOW HOW ABOUT THE ACCIDENT / HIT & RUN THAT KILLED THE BOY? THEY FOUND THE VEHICLE HIDDEN IN GARAGE AND NOBODY CHARGED. When will that cover-up be revealed?
I personally don’t think any charges will ever be brought forward. I get that they have to build a solid case, but I think it’s just too late now. Everybody knows that there are a select few with the money and resources to simply tie things up. Too bad the DA is buddies with the mother’s boyfriend. This thing was messed up from the start.
Are any of these people up for re-election? Vote them out.
When money talks……………………….crooked people listen.
