Woman Killed In Hit-And-Run On Suitland Parkway
A number of residents have called for a safe pedestrian crossing along the parkway, which has seen a number of traffic fatalities in recent years.
Jascha Wilson, a 29-year-old from Southeast Washington, was struck by the driver of a 2012 Dodge Challenger. It was the city’s 16th traffic fatality this year.
A second police officer is in fair condition and a traffic control officer has been released from the hospital.
“He zoomed around the bus… I guess he got tired of waiting, and drove into the lane of oncoming traffic,” said one witness.
