The Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Major Crash Investigations Unit is investigating a traffic fatality that killed two men on Nov. 5, on the 3200 block of Bladensburg Road, NE.

According to MPD documents, a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling northeast on the 3200 block of Bladensburg Road, NE. The Malibu turned left into a gas station located in the block, and, at the same time, a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro was traveling in a southwest direction on Bladensburg Road, NE. The Malibu struck the front driver’s side of the Camaro, causing the Camaro to strike a utility pole.

Both occupants of the Camaro were pronounced dead on the scene. They’ve been identified as 28-year-old Thaddeus Nelson and 34-ear-old Ivan Young, Jr.

The driver of the Malibu remained on the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.

Anyone with any knowledge of the incident should call police.
