An off-duty Prince George's County (Md.) Police officer was killed in a crash in his marked cruiser Thursday afternoon, the second time this year that a county officer has been fatally injured in a traffic accident.
Officer Kevin Bowden, 28, had completed his work shift and was headed north on Branch Avenue about 3 p.m. when his cruiser collided with a sport-utility vehicle near the intersection of Surratts Road, County Police Chief Mark Magaw said Thursday night. He said the impact of the crash forced Bowden’s cruiser into a utility pole.
Bowden was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Magaw said.

You have steadied your hand so others may not trimble. You have brought calm to the night so others could rest. You have given the daylight your presence so others would not fear. Now, rest in peace for God rewards his servants who have cared for others.

If the driver of the other vehicle did cut off the officer then I'm thankful that Maryland has the death penalty.

jus sayn, im almost positive the your priorities are backwards, i see that your condolences are in lower case and that your RANT IS IN CAPS. Also when a police car passes me on the road im almost positive that i don't know if that officer is abussing his authority or responding to a call. Further more that damage could have been caused by the other vehicle speeding and the only thing that im positive about is that i don't know all the facts of the accident investigation. Therefore im going to wait before i start laying blame.
