One of the most bewildering but deadly incidents, killed a Fort Washington, Maryland woman on Monday November 2nd, 2009 in Prince Georges County. Karen Prince was struck and killed by an SUV backing up in a shopping center parking lot.Ms. Prince was found under a Ford Expedition which had been backing up in the parking lot of the Vista Gardens Marketplace. She was unresponsive and had no pulse. Firefighters removed her to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
The incidence of such backing-up crashes is quite frequent and a subject discussed on this website in the past. It seems unfathomable that a vehicle could attain a rate of speed sufficient to kill someone but the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has studied a variety of different possible causes. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/regrev/evaluate/rearwindow-report/toc.htm
No charges have yet been filed against the driver although it is hard to imagine this wrongful death in Glendale would have occurred without some degree of negligence. The bottom-line slow down when backing up and be careful in parking lots.
Clinton, Maryland Crash Victim Dies
Clinton, Maryland resident, Robert Burdette, died at Prince Georges Hospital Center as a result of injuries he suffered in a crash in Lothian, Maryland last month.The victim was driving on Route 4 South in the vicinity of Plummer Lane on October 6th, when his vehicle was struck from behind by a Chevrolet Malibu operated by Sean Fitzgibbon of Friendship.
The impact caused Mr. Burdette's pickup truck to crash into a tree. Anne Arundel County prosecutors will meet with their police counterparts to examine what if any charges might be brought against Mr. Fitzgibbon.
Pregnant Clinton, Maryland Woman Saved From Car Underwater
In a tale of extraordinary heroism and a well-nigh miraculous recovery, a pregnant Clinton, Maryland woman was rescued after her car crashed through a guardrail, rolled more than 30 feet down an embankment and came to rest upside down in a creek.A witness to the car crash caught the attention of paramedics en route to another call and they undertook a heroic rescue effort. After checking the stability of the upside down Ford Focus, the crew broke out the vehicle windows in an attempt to unlock it. No luck.
Then suddenly the locks opened, the paramedics cut the seatbelt off the driver and she was pulled to shore. Initially,
it was thought that the driver could not be saved as she was not breathing and had no pulse. After, CPR she was placed in an ambulance, her breathing and pulse returned and it was clear that both the mother and her unborn child would survive.
The driver, 23-year-old Sade Davis was released from Washington Hospital Center with minor injuries.
