A man fleeing a traffic stop in Carroll County on Saturday night crashed head-on into another car, killing the driver, according to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.

The Independent Investigations Unit under the office is investigating the police pursuit that led to the deadly collision, the attorney general’s office said in a news release.

A Carroll County sheriff’s deputy near the intersection of Liberty and Ridge roads in Eldersburg saw a car speeding around 11:30 p.m. and attempted a traffic stop, the release says. About a mile away, the driver crossed into oncoming traffic on Liberty Road and struck an SUV with a driver and a passenger.

The driver of the SUV was declared dead at the scene while its passenger and the driver who fled were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

After about 30 seconds of attempting to pull the driver over, the deputy lost sight of the car, slowed down and turned off his emergency equipment before discovering the crash, according to the release. The police car has a dashboard camera that recorded the deputy’s point of view, the release says.
