A Maryland state trooper suffered “massive facial and brain injuries” early today after his cruiser slid in the rain and crashed into a utility pole before coming to rest on the concrete porch of a house in Hampstead.
Police said the single-car crash occurred about 1:30 a.m. as Trooper Kendell L. Clagg, 35, was believed to be responding to a call about a speeding vehicle.
Clagg, is assigned to the Westminster barracks and was traveling on Route 30 when the call about a speeding vehicle was received, police said.
Clagg was flown to the R. Adams Crowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where his condition was upgraded this afternoon from critical to stable.
