A carjacking suspect fleeing from police ran onto the Beltway in Maryland, where she was struck and killed by a passing vehicle. The incident occurred on Sunday evening, resulting in the closure of all lanes of the Beltway for several hours. The suspect, a 37-year-old woman, had been pursued by police after allegedly stealing a car in a nearby neighborhood.
The pursuit reached the Beltway, where the suspect abandoned the stolen vehicle and tried to cross the busy highway on foot. Tragically, she was struck by a passing car and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the vehicle that hit her remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities.
The carjacking suspect’s identity has not been released by officials, pending notification of her family. The incident is under investigation by the Maryland State Police, who are working to determine the circumstances that led to the suspect’s death. The closure of the Beltway caused significant traffic delays for commuters, with lanes reopening early Monday morning.
