Maryland State Police Press Release 01/15/2012 03:51
STATE TROOPER STRUCK BY HIT AND RUN VEHICLE IN BALTO. CO.
(RUXTON, MD) – A search is underway for a driver and vehicle
that fled after hitting and injuring a Maryland state trooper while he was on a
traffic stop early this morning on I-83 near Ruxton Road in Baltimore County.
The trooper is identified as Trooper First Class Jason M.
James, 30, who is assigned to the Golden Ring Barrack and has been a member of
the Maryland State Police for four and one-half years.
He was taken by ambulance to the University of Maryland
Shock Trauma Center where he is being treated for what are believed to be
non-life threatening injuries.
The preliminary investigation indicates that shortly after
1:00 a.m. today, TFC James was on a traffic stop on northbound I-83, just north
of Ruxton Rd. As the trooper was standing at the side of the stopped vehicle
issuing a citation to the driver, he was struck by a northbound vehicle.
At this time, it is believed the trooper was struck by the
mirror and side of the passing vehicle and was pushed into the car he had
stopped. The trooper was able to call over his radio to report he had been
struck.
The vehicle that struck the trooper did not stop and fled
the scene. The suspect vehicle is described as a four-door passenger car,
possibly gold or tan. No further description is known at this time.
The trooper was in uniform and was wearing a light-colored
reflective jacket. The emergency lights and the spotlight on his car were
activated at the time he was hit.
Anyone who may have seen this occur or who may have been
northbound on I-83 in the area of Ruxton Road about 1:00 a.m. today is urged to
contact the Golden Ring Barrack at 410-780-2700, then press ‘0’ to speak to the
duty officer or police communications officer.
