Motorcyclist dies after being hit by car in Linthicum Driver in crash still at large

A 38-year-old motorcyclist died from his injuries Monday after he was hit by Nissan SUV on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard and Grove Ridge Court around 2 a.m. Saturday.

Kadem Matthew Hodge, of Baltimore, was pronounced dead at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center from injuries he sustained in the crash. His body will be transported the Office of the Medical Examiner for an autopsy.

The driver of the SUV, Ronald Clark Jr., allegedly cut off Hodge's Harley Davidson motorcycle and caused the crash. Clark then fled the area on foot and is still at large, Anne Arundel County police said Tuesday.

Clark Jr., 30, evaded Anne Arundel County officers, who conducted a "lengthy" search of the scene, police said Saturday. Police obtained a warrant for Clark's arrest and charged him with traffic offenses including negligent driving, reckless driving and failure of a driver involved in an accident to give their insurance information.

Police said their preliminary investigation found that the Nissan SUV was traveling north on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard when it turned left onto Grove Ridge Court, putting the SUV directly in the path of Hodge's 2007 Harley Davidson. The motorcycle crashed into the SUV, throwing Hodge off of it, police said.

Three passengers were in the Nissan Clark was driving, according to police. Online court records show no charges stemming from the collision pending against the passengers, who remained at the scene.
