Maryland AG release surveillance and bodycam video of a deadly crash from a high-speed chase

Two Anne Arundel County police officers are under investigation by the attorney general’s Independent Investigations Division after a high-speed chase and deadly crash in Pasadena early Thursday morning.

A four-door Infiniti G37 sedan was traveling at a high rate of speed on the Stoney Creek drawbridge without its front lights on, authorities said. Two patrol vehicles from the Anne Arundel County Police Department followed closely behind, also traveling at high speeds without using their emergency lights, the Maryland attorney general’s office said in a news release Friday.

After the sedan and the officers’ car left the bridge, the sedan hit a utility pole at the intersection of Fort Smallwood and Bar Harbor roads around 12:06 a.m., the news release said.

A man who was a passenger in the vehicle, 22-year-old Damione Gardner of Baltimore, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, a 23-year-old man, was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. The officers were not injured, the attorney general’s office said.
