The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a fatal pedestrian collision in Suitland. The deceased is identified as 45-year-old Donald Pray of the 900 block of Mentor Avenue in Capitol Heights.

On August 5, 2013, at approximately 1:00 am, patrol officers were called to Suitland Road at Suitland Parkway for the report of a collision involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, patrol officers found Pray suffering from critical injuries. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The preliminary investigation reveals Pray had been driving on Suitland Road when he and a passenger got into an argument.  For an unknown reason, Pray stopped his car, got out and laid down in the roadway.  He was then hit by a car.  Preliminarily, it appears Pray had been drinking alcohol before the collision.

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.
