Ayers’ is the second fatal pedestrian crash in Baltimore County this year. Just a couple of weeks ago, a 2006 Ford F-250 fatally struck Todd Hines Jr., 19, in Dundalk. There has not been an arrest made in his case, Corbin said, even though police located the vehicle believed to be responsible for striking Hines and leaving the scene.
