PGPD Investigating Fatal Pedestrian Collision in Temple Hills

UPDATE February 14, 2019: Investigators have identified the victim in Tuesday's fatal collision. He is 37-year-old Richard Lee of Daventry Terrace in District Heights.


The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal pedestrian collision in Temple Hills. Investigators are working to identify the adult male victim so his family can be notified.

On February 12th, at approximately 11:45 pm, patrol officers were called to the area of St. Barnabas Road near 28th Avenue for a collision involving a pedestrian. Responding officers found the victim suffering from critical injuries. He was taken to a hospital where he died a short time later.

The preliminary investigation reveals the victim was crossing St. Barnabas Road when he was struck by a pickup truck in the westbound lanes. The victim was then struck by a second car. Preliminarily, it appears the victim was not in a crosswalk or a signalized intersection when he was struck.
Both of the involved drivers remained on the scene.
