The Prince
George’s County Police Department is investigating a fatal collision in Bowie.
The deceased is identified as 9-year-old Jahbari Jawon Howe, of the 12700 block
of Libertys Delight Drive in Bowie.
On July 14,
2013 at approximately 7:30 pm, patrol officers responded to the 12800 block of
Woodmore North Boulevard for the report of a collision involving a child on a
bicycle. Upon arrival, patrol officers found Howe suffering from critical
injuries. He was transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to
his injuries on July 16, 2013.
The
preliminary investigation reveals the driver of an Infinity QX 56
was traveling on Woodmore North Boulevard. Howe was
riding a bicycle in the opposite direction near the sidewalk. For reasons
which remain unclear, the child abruptly turned into the travel portion of the
street where he was struck by the Infinity. The driver of the Infinity
remained on the scene.
Preliminarily,
neither alcohol nor speed appear to be factors in this ongoing
investigation. At this point in the
ongoing investigation, no charges have been filed.
Anyone with
information about this case is asked to call the Prince George’s County Police
Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at (301) 731-4422.
