Gene Sergent was struck and killed by an ambulance while riding his motorcycle in Maryland City in September, 2007. His family has filed a $4.4 million lawsuit alleging the driver of the ambulance ran a red light without the emergency lights on. Both the county and the driver are named in the lawsuit. The Anne Arundel County police report states that it was Sergent who ran the red light and struck the ambulance, but witnesses dispute this. An Assistant County lawyer acknowledges there are "discrepancies" with the witness reports.

Sergent's mother alleges the police report can't be trusted because they will back the fire department due to a perceived notion of the fraternity between departments. The investigation closed in April and names Sergent as the one who caused the accident and his subsequent death, but his mother is determined to clear his name.
