HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Authorities say a man known for visiting hospitalized children dressed as Batman died in a crash on a western Maryland highway after his Batmobile had engine trouble.
Police
say 51-year-old Leonard Robinson of Owings Mills was checking the
engine of his Batmobile while standing in the fast lane of eastbound
I-70 Sunday night when the car was hit by a Toyota Camry.
The driver of the Camry wasn’t injured.
The crash occurred around 10:30 p.m. near the unincorporated community of Big Pool.
Robinson
was known for traveling in costume to hospitals in the
Baltimore-Washington area and gained national attention in 2012 when
dashcam video surfaced of police pulling him over while he was driving his Batmobile.
