Distracted driver kills cyclist, pays $313: And that's after the driver asked for (but did not receive) a fine reduction. "I just didn't see him" is apparently a good enough excuse for killing someone in Maryland because you had a foggy windshield and were looking for your cigarette lighter. TheWashCycle and Baltimore Spokes have the details. (Comment)
Two more crashes, two fewer people: A truck driver inadvertently killed a pedestrian on New York Avenue near New Jersey Avenue when "the man fainted or tripped and fell in front of the vehicle." And another driver killed an 85-year-old man in St. Mary's County, in Southern Maryland, either walking along or trying to cross Route 235, which has no sidewalks or crosswalks.
