A man was arrested on suspected impaired driving charges after striking two Maryland State troopers early Sunday morning in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

Police say Avery Alexander Bost, 31, of Upper Marlboro, is charged with suspected impaired driving and other related traffic charges.

It happened shortly before 1:30 a.m. when troopers responded to a reported crash in the northbound area of Branch Avenue near Allentown Road. Troopers had two vehicles at the scene, both parked in front of an unoccupied vehicle.

Bost was driving a Maserati when he struck the rear of one of the Maryland State Police vehicles, causing it to move and hit one of the troopers who was standing outside of his vehicle, according to a news release.

Both troopers were transported by ambulance to a local hospital and were then released.

The Maryland State Police College Park Barrack is leading the ongoing investigation.
