CAMBRIDGE — A utility worker died Tuesday afternoon when a truck crashed into his parked trailer on the side of Hudson Road.
Maryland State Police troopers responded to the area of Maryland Route 343 (Hudson Road) and Car Neck Road in Cambridge just after 12:30 p.m. July 11 for a reported two vehicle crash.
According to police, a Ford F-450, driven by Gary Peek, 66, of Madison, was parked on the side of Hudson Road west with an Intech trailer attached.
