Man Killed, Teen Saved After Jarrettsville Crash

July 19, 2021 By Dagger News Service 8 Comments

From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:

An Annapolis man is dead, and a teen is recovering after a motor vehicle crash Sunday night in Jarrettsville.

On July 18, 2021, at 5:34 p.m., deputies assigned to the Northern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 3900 block of Old Federal Hill Road in Jarrettsville for the report of a motor vehicle collision. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a single vehicle crash involving two occupants. The vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. The driver, identified as Joseph Lee DePasquale, 35, of Annapolis, was declared deceased on scene. The passenger, Kai Merritt, 14, of Jarrettsville, was flown to Johns Hopkins Pediatric Emergency Department by Maryland State Police Medivac Helicopter for treatment of what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Preliminary information gathered at the scene indicates DePasquale was traveling Eastbound on Old Federal Hill Road in a 2017 Ford Expedition, when the vehicle ran off the road, struck a tree stump and caught fire. Upon hearing the crash, and prior to the vehicle becoming fully engulfed in flames, a neighbor rushed to the vehicle, broke the car window, and pulled the teen from the vehicle, saving his life.

Deputies assigned to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Crash Team responded to the scene to assume the investigation into the cause and circumstances of the crash. Preliminary evidence suggests excessive speed was a contributing factor. It is unclear if DePasquale was wearing a seatbelt. The investigation is active and ongoing. No further information will be released at this time.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or has any information regarding the incident, is asked to call the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit at 443-409-3324.

      Isn’t the average age of the US woman’s team 31? I guess those HOs be gettin’ dumber by aging, much like that clown in DC who doesn’t know what day of the week it is.

      Did that purple haired chick on the team that looks like a dude grow a wiener yet? I’ll let him/her pitch to me anytime..:.

        I don’t know if the contestant with the purple dinosaur hair had, has, or will have a shlong in the future. I am sure he/she is more of a man than her contemporary male liberal counterparts.
        Future female sporting events will become a meat-ax parade.

          I want that wiener from that purple haired man-chick. I’m getting bored of foot tapping at Maryland rest areas. Can you believe I got my ass kicked last night for foot tapping the wrong guy??

            Is it just me or is anyone else curious if the hair on the man-chick’s ball sack is purple too?

            She or I should say shim is so hot in those Subway commercials. Definitely better than Jared, but I’m envious because of him getting all those footlongs now that he doesn’t have to pay $5 for.

            That’s all I have for now. Need to get back to watching my transvestite porn with my beagle named Sammy.

            That tranny video that Sammy and I watched was awesome. Glad that him and I could bond and have a play date. Popcorn and peanut butter is all I have to say…mmmm good

            Anyways I’m going to lay low tonight from the rest area grab and smash action. My doctor advised that it’s risky behavior and that I would be more at risk catching the Delta variant. You got to trust the science.
