A grey Nissan Sentra heading in the same direction hit the black Crossroad, and Brown was also struck, police said. Brown was taken to the University of Maryland Capital Regional Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries.

Before he got out of his vehicle, a black GMC Acadia struck his vehicle.
