Court of Special Appeals of Maryland January 30, 2003, No. 1930 (Hodge v. Babel)

SALMON, Judge.

This appeal has its provenance in a January 21, 1999, automobile accident, which occurred in Gambrills, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, about 5:40 p.m. On that date, an automobile, driven by Michael Babel (“Babel”), pulled in front of a car driven by Robin Hodge, aged twenty-two, causing the two cars to collide.
