A Westminster man has been charged in a reported hit-and-run incident after he allegedly drove through a crash scene on Md. 140 on Friday, striking an ambulance, then drove away. Gregory M. Jones, 68, of the 1700 block of Peppermint Lane, is charged with failure to stop after a crash involving damage to an attended
vehicle, and failure to return to and remain at the scene of an accident involving damage to an attended vehicle, according to a news release from Maryland State Police. "This accident is pretty upsetting. It could have had disastrous results. Fortunately no one was hurt," Westminster Volunteer Fire
Department spokesman Kevin Dayhoff said. "We can get the ambulance fixed, but from the conversations I heard at the station right after the incident, the driver showed callous disregard for the life and safety of the Maryland State Police and the first-responders from Reeseand Westminster that were on the scene."
The incident occurred just before 1:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23. Maryland State Police troopers from the Westminster Barrack, along with fireand emergency medical personnel from the Westminster and Reese fire companies, had responded to a vehicle collision on westboundMd. 140 and Sandymount Road in Finksburg.
