Driver Involved In Fatal Hit And Run Turns Self In

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Maryland State Police say the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash on I-83 at 695 early Sunday morning turned herself in to troopers at the Golden Ring Barrack late Sunday afternoon.

Troopers say the driver, 30-year-old Whitney D. Flanigan, from Pikesville, was driving a 2001 BMW X5, registered in Pennsylvania.

MSP say the crash happened just before 1:30 a.m., on the ramp from the northbound Jones Falls Expressway to the outer loop of I-695.

Troopers determined the victim's car, a Mazda 3, was parked on the shoulder of the ramp. The victim was outside his vehicle, when a blue BMW X5 struck both the pedestrian and the Mazda, before driving away.

The victim, identified as 30-year-old Ramon J. Purvey was pronounced dead at the scene.

MSP say charges are pending for Flannigan.
