Two Pedestrians Struck by Vehicles Wednesday Morning in MoCo, Bringing Week’s Total to at Least Eight

One person was uninjured, the other sustained nonlife-threatening injuries

Two pedestrians were struck by vehicles on Wednesday morning in Montgomery County, bringing the week’s total of pedestrian-involved crashes to at least eight.

At 4:30 a.m., one adult patient was transported to a local hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in the 12000 block of Parklawn Drive in Rockville, according to police. At approximately 6:23 a.m., Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson Pete Piringer reported a pedestrian was struck near the intersection of Veirs Mill Road and Andrew Street in Wheaton, but the person was not injured.

The Wednesday morning crashes add to a lengthy list of pedestrian-involved collisions this week, highlighted by at least six Monday evening.

On Tuesday morning, Piringer reported a “possible pedestrian struck” near Gaithersburg, but said the person, who sustained traumatic injuries, was not transported to a hospital. Montgomery County police issued a press release Tuesday saying they are investigating a dead body found in the same area around the same time, but have not confirmed how the person died or if the two incidents are connected.
