PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – On September 12, 2024, at approximately 8:04 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Unit responded to the area of northbound Solomons Island Road and Church Street in Prince Frederick, for the report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian.
A preliminary investigation indicates that a 2017 Hyundai Accent, operated by Asaun Jaziah Hudson, 23 of St. Leonard, was traveling north on Solomons Island Road approaching Church Street in Prince Frederick. An unknown black male approximately 30 – 35 years of age was walking eastbound across Rt. 4 from Hallowing Point Road to Church Street. The Hyundai Accent struck the pedestrian causing serious injuries. The unknown male was transported to Calvert Health Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
Hudson was not injured in the crash. Initial findings indicate that speed was not a factor in the collision, however, alcohol does appear to be a contributing factor with the pedestrian.
At this time, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office is actively attempting to identify the unknown 30-35-year-old black male.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or events leading up to it is asked to please contact DFC Daily at Michael.Daily@calvertcountymd.gov or 410-535-2800. Please reference case 24-70790.
Very sad incident. Hoping the young driver gets support — he’ll live with this for the rest of his life. There are several resources in the County for incidents like this.
That is no place to jaywalk, nor is anywhere in that area. There’s not a lot of visibility approaching that intersection, as the road curves and the bushes in the median obscure much of it. I’ve seen folks lately in those bushes around 5 PM, waiting to cross! It’s very hard to spot them, and I’m afraid they’ll get hurt standing so close to the road, unseen. But that is not a safe place for pedestrians to cross without right of way. Maybe there should be some enforcement going on, particularly during rush hour.
