BERLIN — Maryland State Police investigators from the Berlin Barrack are investigating a fatal hit and run in Worcester County and are asking for the public assistance.
The identity of the deceased victim is not being released at this time due to pending next of kin notification. The victim was found deceased, lying unresponsive in a grassy ravine between Maryland Route 707 and Route 50 in Worcester County.
