\nOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
\nOn Sept. 27, at approximately 7:43 p.m., Calvert County Detective Traas called out with a personal injury accident involving a pedestrian that was struck northbound on Maryland Route 4 at the intersection of Fox Run Boulevard in Prince Frederick.
\nMembers of the Calvert County Sheriff\u2019s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and assessed the situation. Preliminary investigation revealed that a Calvert County Sheriff\u2019s Office unmarked Chevrolet Impala was traveling north along Maryland Route 4 approaching the intersection of Fox Run Boulevard when a pedestrian wearing dark, non reflective clothing entered the roadway from Fox Run Shopping Center.
\nThe pedestrian was struck by the detective\u2019s vehicle, causing the pedestrian to be vaulted into the southbound turn lane of Route 4. The pedestrian was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
\nThree witnesses were interviewed and gave written statements as to what they observed during the incident. The Calvert County Sheriff\u2019s Office requested the Maryland State Police Crash Team handle the investigation of the fatal crash because it involved a fatality with an agency vehicle. It was raining and visibility was reduced at the time of the crash.
\nThe name of the deceased is not being released at this time due to the fact the family has not been notified. The pedestrian is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.
\nMaryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack are investigating a fatal pedestrian accident in Prince Frederick.
\nRescue crews responded to report of a pedestrian struck on Route 4 near the Fox Run Shopping Center around 7:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 27.
\nUpon arrival, it was discovered that a pedestrian had been struck by a Sheriff’s deputy driving an unmarked vehicle. The pedestrian was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital where the patient later died as a result of injuries received.
\nAuthorities continue to investigate.
