Our Collision Analysis and
Reconstruction Unit is investigating this morning's fatal hit-and-run in Oxon
Hill. The driver has now been identified. Charges against him are
pending. The victim is 23-year-old Lisbon Wiggins of
Chesapeake Avenue in Southeast DC.
The preliminary investigation reveals the
driver struck Wiggins at the intersection of St. Barnabas Road and Wheeler Road
at about 3:05 am. Wiggins and a friend had just been involved in an unrelated,
minor collision with another car. Wiggins and her friend were outside of their
car exchanging information with the second driver. At that moment, the
investigation reveals the striking driver struck Wiggins with his pickup truck.
He fled when a patrol officer arrived on the scene. Wiggins was pronounced dead
on the scene.
Shortly before noon, the striking driver turned himself in at
our District V station in Clinton. Charges against him are pending.
Investigators will be consulting with the State's Attorney's
Office.
Anyone with information is asked to call the
Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at (301)731-4422.
