CAMP SPRINGS, MD. - A Maryland man has been charged following an early Sunday crash in Prince George’s County that injured two state troopers, authorities said.

The accused, Avery Alexander Bost, 31, of Upper Marlboro, was identified as the driver of a Maserati involved in the incident. According to the Maryland State Police, he faces suspected impaired driving charges along with other traffic-related offenses.
Officials said troopers from the Maryland State Police College Park Barrack responded shortly before 1:30 a.m. to reports of a disabled vehicle in the left lane of northbound Branch Avenue near Allentown Road.
