Investigators from the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack say they were able to identify the victim in a fatal hit and run in Worcester County.

On November 11 around noon, police got a 9-1-1 call from a driver who had stopped to look at what he originally thought was a dead deer lying in a grassy ravine between Maryland Route 707 and Route 50 in Worcester County. When he realized it was a body, the driver immediately called state police at the Berlin Barrack.
