The Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Major Crash Unit is investigating a traffic fatality that occurred on July 20 on the 3800 block of Reservoir Road, NW.
According to MPD documents, an adult female was trying to make a turn in a parking garage, when she accelerated and headed towards a wall. To try to avoid hitting the wall, she drove toward a valet station where there were people waiting for their vehicles. Five adult females and one adult male were struck by the vehicle, and transported to a local hospital to receive treatment for their injuries. At the hospital, after all life-saving efforts failed, one of the adult females succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead.
The victim was identified as 68-year-old Jewel Regina Bazilio-Bellegarde.
