(DAVIDSONVILLE, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that occurred early this morning in Anne Arundel County.

The pedestrian, whose identification is being withheld pending next of kin notification, was pronounced deceased on the scene. No other injuries were reported at the scene. The driver and sole occupant of a Lexus involved remained on the scene.  

Around 4:30 a.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police Annapolis Barrack responded to the area of eastbound U.S. Route 50, west of Maryland Route 424, for a report of an inoperable vehicle stopped in the roadway. Upon arrival on the scene, Troopers located an inoperable vehicle on the right shoulder, in the area of the crash.
