Chillum Road at Queens Chapel Road: At about 4:30 pm officers investigated a property damage motor vehicle collision. Their investigation revealed that a vehicle stopped at the traffic light westbound Chillum Road at Queens Chapel Road was struck from the rear by another vehicle.

Both individuals, one an adult, the other a juvenile were stopped for a field interview. During the interview process both individuals were patted down for weapons.
