ESSEX, MD—A juvenile was seriously injured in a crash involving a stolen vehicle in Essex on Thursday.

At around 10:15 p.m. on February 16, 2023, the driver of a Chevrolet Cobalt was double parked in the 900-block of Bayner Road in Essex (21221).

As the driver of the Ford Escape fled the scene, the vehicle became disabled and the driver then fled on foot. Both pedestrians (adult man and juvenile) as well as the adult male driver of the Cobalt were injured in the crash and taken to area hospitals.

While the two adults sustained minor injuries, the juvenile sustained serious injuries.
