The second driver suffered undisclosed injuries and was taken by first responders to MedStar St. Mary's Hospital for treatment and evaluation.
The Lexington Park resident was arrested and taken to the St. Mary's County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown, where he was charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident with injuries and related offenses.
