Saturday morning on April 16, 2022, a vehicle crash left one Glen Burnie man in critical condition. After 6 a.m., Northern District officers responded to Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard (Rt. 648) near Oakleigh Avenue for a vehicle crash.

An investigation revealed that a 2019 Volkswagen GTI was traveling northbound on Baltimore Annapolis Blvd at Oakleigh Avenue when the driver, 41-year-old Donald Hicks, rear-ended a 2014 Honda. Upon initial impact, both vehicles continued northbound when the Honda left the roadway and struck a telephone pole.
