From Maryland-A spokesperson from the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland confirmed that a bishop was involved in a deadly hit-and-run of a bicyclist in Roland Park Saturday afternoon.
58-year-old Heather Elizabeth Cook, Bishop Suffragan of Maryland, was driving a Subaru that struck and killed the bicyclist, 41-year-old Thomas Palermo.
In an email sent to the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, the Right Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton told members that Cook "has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately."
Sutton also said that Cook first drove off after striking Palermo's bike, but then returned to the scene approximately 20 minutes later "to take responsibility for her actions."
