The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal hit-and-run involving an electric bicycle that occurred Monday night in Temple Hills. The deceased e-bike rider has been identified as 20-year-old Manuel Mateo-Molina of Temple Hills.
On September 7, 2026, at approximately 11:40 pm, officers responded to the area of St. Barnabas Road and Stamp Road for the report of a collision involving an e-bike and an SUV. Once on scene, they located Mateo-Molina in the roadway. He died of his injuries on Tuesday.
The preliminary investigation indicates Mateo-Molina and the driver of the SUV were traveling in the eastbound lanes on St. Barnabas Road. For reasons now under investigation, it appears the SUV struck the victim from behind. The driver of the SUV fled the scene. Preliminarily, the involved SUV may be dark blue in color and may have some front-end damage.
As always, investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who has dash camera or home surveillance footage that may have captured the incident to contact the Prince George’s County Police Department. Even if you believe your footage may not be significant, it could provide valuable information to assist investigators.
Anyone with information about this case who would like to speak with an investigator is asked to call the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at 301-731-4422. Please refer to case number 26-0047864.
