An Anne Arundel County police officer was hit by a pickup truck during a routine traffic stop Saturday afternoon and taken to Baltimore Shock Trauma Center with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police said the driver, whom they declined to identify, was taken into custody under suspicion of being intoxicated. Police declined to identify the 38-year-old male officer. Steve Thompson, battalion chief for the county Fire Department, said the officer had stopped another vehicle on Route 100, near the intersection with Route 170 in Severn, and was hit by a pickup truck while outside his car. In a separate incident Friday night, a state trooper based in Bel Air was hit at Harford and Connolly roads near Fallston when a driver failed to stop at a stop sign and ran into Sgt. Scott Angstadt's car about 11:30 p.m. He was airlifted to Shock Trauma, where he was treated and released Saturday. Charges are pending against the driver, who also was hospitalized.
