1 driver dead, 4 cops injured after Prince George’s County crash

LARGO, Md – One driver killed, and four officers injured during an incident involving two suspected drunk driving crashes in Prince George’s County Tuesday night.

According to investigators, three Prince George’s County officers and one State Trooper were on the scene around 10 p.m. after 60-year-old Marc Alexander was involved in a crash on Route 202 near Campus Way South in Largo when a second driver smashed into a State Police vehicle.

Investigators say another driver had rear-ended Alexander, but while police are conducting the investigations, they began suspecting that the Upper Marlboro was impaired.

Trooper Brandon White was sitting in a patrol vehicle when 38-year-old Iretha Spriggs of Capital Heights allegedly crashed into it, causing the car to spin into the original crash scene.

Prince George’s County Police say the force of Spriggs vehicle propelled the State Police patrol cruiser into the initial crash scene, hitting the three officers.

Spriggs vehicle continued onward after striking the trooper’s cruiser, sideswiping a car involved in the initial crash and hitting Alexander, who was standing near his ride at the time.

Alexander and the officers were all taken to the medical facility.

Alexander later died.

State Police stated that they found marijuana in Spriggs vehicle.
