From the Aberdeen Police Department:
The Aberdeen Police Department has filed charges related to a fatal hit and run crash that happened on Friday, May 5, 2017.
Officers with the Aberdeen Police Department were called to the area of 1100 S. Philadelphia Blvd around 5:50 a.m. They discovered a 45 year old woman lying on the side of the road suffering from severe injuries and then recurred to a rideshare accident attorney for a legal compensation. The woman was later identified as Lisa L. Waters of Aberdeen. She was transported by ambulance to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center where she later died. If she did survive, she might still suffer from severe injuries such as brain damage.
Her loved ones can seek for legal help from a brain injury lawyer.Witnesses reported the vehicle that struck Ms. Waters slowed down but failed to stop at the scene. About 20 minutes later, the driver of the vehicle called police to report that he believed he may have struck something on S. Philadelphia Blvd. He was identified as 48-year-old Bradley Piern of Timonium, Maryland. The victim’s family immediately called a wrongful death lawyer after learning about the incident.
The investigation into the crash revealed that Ms. Waters was attempting to cross S. Philadelphia Blvd during a heavy downpour of rain while wearing dark clothing. Witnesses stated that she stepped out onto S. Philadelphia Blvd and was struck by the 2015 Buick Regal that was driven by Mr. Piern. The investigation also revealed the Mr. Piern was under the influence of alcohol. The victim’s family will be represented by a wrongful death lawyer. Mr. Piern was later charged with vehicular manslaughter under the influence of alcohol and vehicular manslaughter impaired by alcohol. He was also cited for failing to stop at an accident involving death, failure to return and remain at the scene of an accident with death, and failure to furnish ID. He has hired a dui attorney for guidance on he case.
Tragic. Hope he goes into the slammer for a long time. No excuse for this. Just like the bishop that hit the biker. Keep her in jail.
He won’t even get 4 years…
Unfortunately, you are probably right. His lawyer will say that he had some drinks after he got home to calm his nerves, but the authorities have no proof that he was impaired while operating the vehicle. He will plead out the leaving the scene charges, and will be out in a year. Isn’t that what Borys got for dragging a man and his snowblower down the road?
Still has his license , can’t believe it….
Very sad.
He got PBJ for a DWI in 2007. Should have quit drinking after dodging that bullet.
He is still driving to Aberdeen Proving Grounds and back to Timonium, but the woman he killed will never do anything again..
Brad is still driving. ?? How did he dodge this bullet, most people cant lie this good to get out of killing someone, how do you know of his prior. ? He will probably hit. something else then the Judge he fooled will have to live with it….
What is current status of case? Was he sentenced??
Looks like all charges were dismissed
Rip Lisa…i haven’t seen you im a while but i can remember your smile. I pray justice is served and may you be remembered by all
He has not even been arrested yet, so no bail hearing, even though he was charged with felonies. Seems like a double standard.
The man had a drinking issue and those that worked with him were aware of it. He is a federal employee and the leadership turned a blind eye to getting him help. Let them be also guilty of this crime for covering and accepting it
Oh please…. It’s no ones responsibility to report someone to the government who is acting in a manner they deem not normal. For christ sakes we would have every Mormon sitting outside every bar and catholics posted by the condoms in walgreens.
Hey now! I’m Catholic, but am not posted by the condoms in Walgreens (or any other pharmacy). Don’t be so mean and hateful.
The fact you aren’t I believe is the whole point but apparently you missed it.
What’s up, SMH? Sounds like you knew about this person and could have prevented this homicide.
How does it feel knowing someone died when you could have prevented it?
Can you contact me Shibbs ??
As a private citizen, you have no duty to do anything.
I’d love to know why someone’s employer should “Let them be also guilty of this crime for covering and accepting it.”?
Why stop at their employer? Or is this person’s employer apart of some complex you have? Didn’t get hired?
May as well haul in everyone who had some affiliation with this person and an alcoholic beverage in his entire life, amirite? Family, friends, bar tenders, and anyone else in the Public who saw this guy with an alcoholic beverage.
I mean it follows your logic, completely does not make any sense.
I worked with him for years & never knew he drank. Shocked.
Why has he not been arrested yet? Why was he released on his own recognizance? Even Bishop Heather Cook and Kenneth Borys were arrested after being charged for hit and runs and ended up posting bail after bail hearings. Can the Aberdeen Police Department and the State’s Attorney or whoever the responsible party is explain? It makes no sense.
I’m not a lawyer but I think that in order for one to be released on recognizance means that there was an appearance before a judicial officer and that comes after a person is arrested and booked. I’m pretty sure that the police and state attorney don’t release on recognizance so I think your question would be aimed at the court commissioner or judge that issued the recognizance.
Thanks for that post. I think you’re correct. I’m angered to the point of exhaustion to know that we have a “colorized” and monetary based justice system.
Got bail funds? Enjoy freedom until trial.
Broke student? Last name end in “z”? No family to join you at hearing because they can’t afford to take a day off? Oh well- hang out behind bars until we get to you & then serve more time for a dumb prank than you would if you committed manslaughter.
Sadly, I’m commenting based on REPEATED experience watching families go through this.
It probably makes no sense to you because you do not know the details and are obviously posting on here just to stir things up.
My little cousin is DEAD. She was a talented poet, a mother, a sister, a hard worker, and a SURVIVOR. Did the man who killed her have previous issues with driving while intoxicated? If so, are you willing to write to the court AND show up at hearings? Kids are thrown in jail for YEARS for carrying a few grams of marijuana. But this guy is home in his own bed comfortably awaiting a hearing.
If you know something- BE A GOOD CITIZEN AND SHOW UP FOR JUSTICE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR REPEATEDLY DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
