OCEAN CITY, Md.- Ocean City police say a Pennsylvania man was injured after he was struck by a vehicle over the weekend.
Police said that shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, April 7, officers responded to the area of 81st Street and Coastal Highway for a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian. Authorities said the pedestrian, a 47-year-old man from Lititz, Pa., was attempting to cross Coastal Highway from east to west, when he was struck by a northbound vehicle.
Police said the pedestrian, who was not in a crosswalk at the time of the collision, was taken by Maryland State Police helicopter to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators said the driver of the vehicle, who was found to be driving with a suspended and revoked license, was identified as John Edward Cropper, 47, of Ocean City.
Cropper was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle on a revoked license. He was seen by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner and released on his own personal recognizance. Currently no charges have been filed against the pedestrian; however, police said the investigation is ongoing.
