A man found lying unconscious on a road in Jessup early Sunday was probably the victim of a hit-and-run accident, Howard County rescue officials said.
Emergency workers found Donald Yount, a man in his 30s with no known address, in the 8300 block of Barkwood Court about 2 a.m., said Lt. Dan Merson, a spokesman for the Howard County fire department.
A MedEvac helicopter flew Mr. Yount to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he was reported in critical condition yesterday. Injuries to his head and back suggest that he might have been struck by a vehicle, Lieutenant Merson said.
