By Dave Jamieson
An elderly man was hit by a car and seriously injured while crossing the street at Queens Chapel and Chillum roads yesterday in Mt. Rainier, Md. The driver fled the scene and was later apprehended.
According to Prince George’s fire department spokesman Mark Brady, emergency personnel got the call around 2:30 p.m. Sunday for a man with severe head injuries outside the Advance Auto Parts store about a block from the Mt. Rainier Nature and Recreation Center. The caller said the man had been hit by a car that did not stop and had blood coming from his mouth and nose. Brady said the victim, whose name was not released, looked to be in his 80’s. He was taken to a trauma center.
Chris Edwards was working at the auto parts store when the crash occurred. He says one of his co-workers saw the impact. "The guy was crossing the street and a black SUV hit him," Edwards says. "He kind of flew up into the air, and the car kept going. He never slowed down."
