The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a now fatal pedestrian collision that occurred in early August. The deceased pedestrian is 65-year-old Anthony Wright of Washington, DC. Investigators have been attempting to locate his next of kin to inform them of his death which was completed on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
On August 5, 2026, at approximately 1:40 am, officers responded to the area of Indian Head Highway and Farmington Road for a pedestrian collision. Wright was transported from the scene to a hospital where he died on August 28, 2026.
