The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction
Unit is investigating a fatal pedestrian collision in Landover. The victim is
25-year-old Kevin James Rice of E. Chesapeake Street in Landover.
On June 19th, at about 10:40 pm, patrol
officers were called to the 7000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Highway for a
collision involving a car and two pedestrians.
The preliminary investigation reveals the car
was traveling westbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Highway when it struck Rice
and a toddler as they were attempting to cross the roadway. Preliminarily, it
appears they were not in a crosswalk. Rice died of his injuries at a hospital on
Monday. The toddler’s injuries do not appear life-threatening. The driver of
the car remained on the scene.
