A pedestrian was struck twice by different vehicles in the early morning of Aug. 23.
According to a press release, at approximately 1:52 a.m. a pedestrian was walking when struck by a vehicle on I395 northbound, near the exit ramp from the 9th Street tunnel.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department told D.C. Witness that the impact of the first vehicle pushed the victim into ongoing traffic headed westbound. This resulted in the victim being struck a second time by a different vehicle.
The DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene, however the victim was pronounced dead after being transported to an area hospital.
Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should call police at 202-727-9099 or text a tip to the Department’s Text Tip Line — 50411.
