November 22, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 41 . . Route 611 Hit, Run Last Weekend FROM PAGE 10 Meanwhile, last Saturday’s incident continues a disturbing trend of vehicle collisions involving pedestrians, including three fatal accidents, on northern Worcester County roads over the last few weeks and this fall. On Friday, Nov. 8, a Maryland State Police trooper on routine patrol in an unmarked car was headed north on Route 113 approaching Bay Street when he collided with two local teenage brothers attempting to cross the highway. One of the brothers, Tymeir D. Dennis, 16, of Berlin, a Stephen Decatur High School junior, died of injuries sustained in the crash. Dennis’ brother Tyheym Bowen, 19, suffered serious injuries in the collision. The trooper, identified as Nicholas Hager, 21, a one-year veteran assigned to the MSP Berlin barrack, attempted to take evasive action, but was unable to avoid striking the two teens. The accident has spurred a renewed interest in improving pedestrian safety along the stretch of Route 113 through Berlin. On Sunday, Oct. 27, a 38-yearold New Jersey man was struck and killed by a vehicle on Route 50 near Route 589. The investigation revealed a 2005 Jeep Wrangler was traveling east on Route 50 when it struck a pedestrian later identified as Stephen Bird, 38, of Madison, N.J. Bird was walking from south to north across the eastbound lanes of Route 50 when he was struck by the Jeep at about 2:20 a.m. The driver and his passenger were returning to their West Ocean City residence from the Casino at Ocean Downs, according to police reports. The Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office met with investigators and no charges were filed against the driver. Alcohol was not a factor in that incident, according to police reports. On Sept. 20, a West Ocean City resident and Boardwalk store owner was struck and killed in a hit-andrun accident on Route 50 near its intersection at Elm Street in an incident for which the suspect has not been identified nor has the vehicle involved been located. Shortly after 10 p.m. on Sept. 20, Jerold Sharoff, 58, died on Route 50 when he was struck walking across the roadway almost directly in front of Starbucks and opposite the Outback Steakhouse. Witnesses reported the vehicle that struck Sharoff was a full-sized red Ford pick-up truck that has not been located, nor has a suspect been identified. The pick-up truck continued east on Route 50 toward Ocean City after striking Sharoff before witnesses lost sight of it. Law enforcement agencies immediately searched the area for the truck to no avail and the search continued in the weeks following the incident. However, more than two months later, no suspect has been identified nor has the truck been located. 118TH STREET & THE BEACH ✵✍✆✔✑✌✞✎✙✎✔✞ ✥✡✒✡✝❜✆✗✎✔ Seating Available Thanksgiving Day From Noon-6 p.m. Reservations Highly Recommended: 410-524-1000, Ext. 7195 $19.95 Adults $10.95 Children 4-10 • 3 & Under Free CARVING STATION Slow-Roasted Whole Turkey With Giblet Gravy Honey-Glazed Baked Virginia Ham DINNER BUFFET Chicken Parmesan, Fresh Whipped Potatoes, Candied Sweet Yams, Green Bean Casserole, Homemade Succotash With Carrots, Cranberry Sauce, Cornbread Stuffing, Assorted Dinner Rolls SEAFOOD DISPLAY Chilled Peel-And-Eat Shrimp And Blue Crab Claws SALAD STATION Traditional Tossed Garden Salad With An Array Of Fresh Toppings Classic Caesar Salad Vegetable Crudites And Artisan Cheese Display SOUP STATION Roasted Butternut Squash • Chicken Tortellini PENNE PASTA STATION Choose From Alfredo, Marinara, And Garlic & Oil Assorted Toppings All Hand-Tossed To Order DESSERT STATION Assorted Seasonal Pies And Cakes Children’s Buffet MINI HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS CHICKEN TENDERS • MACARONI & CHEESE Kids 15 And Under Skate FREE With Purchase Of Buffet
