The Maryland Attorney General’s Office has concluded that no criminal charges will be filed in a fatal police-involved crash that happened in Howard County earlier this year.
According to investigators, a Howard County police officer spotted a Honda speeding along Route 29 in Columbia at nearly 84 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone. Police say the officer activated emergency lights when the driver failed to stop, but called off the traffic stop seconds later due to safety concerns. Soon after, the Honda crashed, burst into flames, and the juvenile female driver died at the scene.
Officials say the investigation found the officer did not commit a crime under Maryland law.
