Police have identified the driver in a hit-and-run crash in which a longtime Johns Hopkins University fencing coach was killed when he was struck by a pickup truck with a snow plow.
Anne Arundel County police said Tuesday that 21-year-old Maximilian H. Bode, of Pasadena, was driving the truck that fatally struck Richard F. Oles, 77, during the snow storm early last Thursday. Bode didn’t stay at the scene, police said.
Oles was walking in the street near Mountain Road and Edwin Raynor Boulevard in Pasadena at about 2:30 a.m. when the crash occurred, police said. Police say the plowed snow prevented people from walking on the sidewalk or shoulder.
Police said charges against Bode are pending a review by the state’s attorney’s office.
Oles was a fencing coach at Hopkins from 1957 until 2003, when he retired, the Baltimore Sun reported.
