CAMP SPRINGS, Md. — A pair of Maryland State troopers were hospitalized overnight Sunday after being struck by a suspected impaired driver.

The troopers were out helping a disabled vehicle on Branch Avenue near Allentown Road in Prince George's County, when a Maserati rear-ended one of their parked cruisers with its lights on.

This led one patrol car to bump another, causing it to hit a trooper who was standing outside.

The driver, identified as 31-year-old Avery Alexander Bost, of Upper Marlboro, was arrested and charged on several related traffic offenses.

Both troopers were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, and later released.

Court records do show Bost with a history of driving on a suspended license.
