BALTIMORE — A driver delivering packages for Amazon turned himself into police after a video surfaced of him running over a woman and fleeing the scene.
The alleged incident happened around 9:30pm, on February 18, at the intersection of E. Pratt and S. Chester Streets in Butchers Hill.
A woman appeared to be crossing the street when an Amazon truck ran her over.
The video, which WMAR-2 News has not independently verified, shows the driver briefly stopping to check on the screaming woman, before taking off.
Police say the 29-year-old woman suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The man behind the wheel was identified as 26-year-old Jerome Allan Young, Jr., of Baltimore County.
He turned himself in at a Baltimore County Police precinct on Thursday.
Amazon spokesperson, Austin Stowe, said Young's been suspended.
“This is a terrible incident and the driver in question has been suspended from delivering on our behalf," said Stowe. "We're working with his employer and law enforcement as they investigate.”
According to Stowe, Young is employed by a delivery company contracted out by Amazon.
Young now faces charges of negligent and reckless driving, with more pending.
