Woman Killed In Hit-And-Run On Greenspring Avenue In NW Baltimore
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A 69-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run Wednesday morning, according to Baltimore Police.
Detectives believe the driver of a grey 2011 Honda Accord was driving southbound in the 3700 block of Greenspring Avenue when they lost control and struck a taxicab driving northbound on Greenspring Avenue.
"We believe the driver of that vehicle lost control and struck a taxicab that was traveling northbound," Baltimore Police Detective Jeremy Silbert said.
After the crash, the driver of the Honda and passenger both left the scene on foot.
There were two people in the taxicab at the time of the crash. The driver was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but the passenger died at the hospital.
Police said they are working to determine if weather played a factor in the crash.
"As you know, we did receive some rain in the area this morning," Silbert said. "But again, what we need to focus on is that there were two individuals involved in a very serious crash and they left the scene."
Those who work in the area told WJZ people drive fast no matter what.
"When it is a little snowy, a little rainy, a little slick, they don't give allowances for it," Shiffonda Sutton said. "So when you're supposed to slow down, proceed with caution."
Anyone with information on who the driver of the Honda Accord is, or who the passenger is, is asked to call detectives at 410-396-2606. Callers can remain anonymous.
