The Baltimore father who was hurt along with his 4-year-old son in a sledding accident on Saturday has died, police say.
Adam French, 35, died of his injuries Sunday night, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said.
French and his son were badly hurt Sunday morning when their sled slid into a road and they were hit by an SUV.
French and his son were sledding down a driveway on the 3200 block of Lineboro Road in Manchester on Saturday morning. Their sled careened into the road, and they were hit by a 2004 Jeep Cherokee being driven by a 33-year-old man.
Police and an EMS crew arrived about 10:45 a.m. French had life-threatening injuries. He was taken to Carroll Hospital Center and then transferred to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
His son was transported to Sinai Hospital and initially was listed in critical condition. As of Monday morning, the child no longer was in critical condition and was expected to recover.
French and his son were visiting relatives in Carroll County when the crash occurred, police said.
