Pedestrian dies after being struck by driver in Germantown driveway


Montgomery County police are investigating a fatal collision that took place today in Germantown. According to police, a 75-year-old man was in a residential driveway in the 11600 block of Drumcastle Terrace just after 12:30 PM, when he was struck by a vehicle driven by a family member. The driver remained at the scene, and is cooperating with the investigation, police say. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he later tragically died from his injuries.

I think of this neighborhood as a townhome community without individual driveways, so I am somewhat puzzled by the description of "driveway." Police say the Collision Reconstruction Unit is conducting a full investigation of the incident. The identity of the decedent is being withheld until his relatives have been notified by police.
