WALDORF, Md. — A fleeing carjacking suspect died Thursday after colliding with a dump truck in Waldorf.
It happened as police were giving chase on Mattawoman-Beantown Road.
Charles County Sheriff's deputies were initially called to a parking lot on Action Lane for reports of a woman being assaulted.
As the first officer got on scene, they spotted 34-year-old Dejuan Mitchell leaving in the woman's stolen vehicle.
Mitchell reportedly refused to stop for police, prompting a several minute pursuit that exceeded speeds of 100 mph.
Mitchell eventually lost control striking a grass median, before crossing into oncoming traffic and hitting a dump truck.
He died on scene. The dump truck driver and carjacking victim each sustained minor injuries.
Police say Mitchell and the woman he allegedly robbed did not know each other.
The involved officers have been identified as officers William Saunders, Dureyea Toland, and Keegan Dunn. None of them were hurt in the chase.

The incident remains under investigation by the Maryland Attorney General's Office.
