The man was treated at the scene and then flown by Maryland State Police to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. He was released later that evening with minor injuries.
Police will continue to investigate; the officer had a green light and the pedestrian was legally in the crosswalk, according to a release. Police say neither the officer’s or pedestrian’s names will be released at this time.
