Anne Arundel County police believe speed and alcohol were factors in a traffic accident early Tuesday that left a Clinton man seriously injured, according to a spokesman for the department. Robert Francis Burdette, 74, was driving a 1995 Ford Ranger pickup south on Route 4 near Plummer Lane in Lothian when it was struck from behind about 2:30 a.m. by a Chevrolet Malibu driven by Sean Kevin Fitzgibbon, 27, of Friendship, said spokesman Justin Mulcahy. The pickup went off the road and hit a tree head-on, according to police. Burdette was taken to Prince George's Hospital Center with life-threatening injuries.
