Wicomico County, MD - Deputies from the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office responded to a hit-and-run incident involving a federal agent on the morning of February 3, 2026.

At approximately 06:48 AM, authorities were dispatched to the intersection of Pemberton Drive and Diamondback Drive in Salisbury, Maryland, following reports that a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent had been struck by a passing vehicle.

The investigation revealed that the agent was assisting with traffic direction at the time to ensure the safety of the motoring public. All agents present on the scene were wearing clothing or equipment that clearly identified them as law enforcement officers.

The injured agent was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released. There is no evidence at this time to indicate the agent was struck due to their employment with ICE.

A suspect has been identified in connection with the incident. However, their identity is currently being withheld as the investigation remains active.

The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward. Witnesses can contact Detective Oakley of the Criminal Investigation Division at 410-548-4891.
