Prince George's Police Pledge Street-racing Crackdown
posted 11:34 am Mon February 25, 2008 - PALMER PARK, Md.
Police say there are about 10 locations in the county that could warrant the extra attention, including sections of Route 301, Central Avenue and Indian Head Highway, where eight people were killed this month while watching an illegal street race. They're also urging anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward. They say they've only spoken to about 20 of the roughly 200 people they believe were there.
At a news conference Monday, Police provided few details on the actual investigation, but said the driver of the white Ford Crown Victoria that plowed into the crowd passed drug and alcohol tests administered at the scene. The driver has not been charged.Not a member yet? Click Here to sign up.
