The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is investigating a traffic crash that resulted in the death of a pedestrian on June 5 at the intersection of Q Street and Foxhall Road, NW.
According to MPD documents, the preliminary investigation determined that a car was waiting at a red light at the location. When the light turned green, the vehicle began turning left onto Foxhall Road before striking the pedestrian, who was in the crosswalk, causing the pedestrian to bump their head.
The striking vehicle remained on the scene and the pedestrian was transported to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. After all life-saving efforts failed, the victim succumbed to her injuries.
The victim was identified as 77-year-old Patricia Bullinger.
MPD requests that anyone with information regarding the incident reach out to them.
