Church: Md. bishop who left scene of fatal crash was 'in shock'

From The Baltimore Sun-

The Episcopal bishop who left the scene of the crash that killed a well-known local bicyclist in Baltimore last month told a colleague a short time after the incident that she was "in shock," the church said Tuesday.

Bishop Suffragan Heather Elizabeth Cook, 58, the second-ranking official in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, called the Rev. Canon Scott Slater about 20 minutes after the crash Dec. 27 that killed Thomas Palermo in Roland Park.

"She said she thought she had hit a bicyclist and was in shock," according to statement released by the diocese.

The national Episcopal Church, meanwhile, said it had opened an investigation into the matter.
