Incident Information

Tragedy struck in Takoma Park early Monday morning when a pedestrian was struck and killed by a driver in a catastrophic accident. According to authorities, the driver of a Nissan was traveling down New Hampshire Avenue when they careened off the road and into a Metrobus stop on Glenside Drive, completely obliterating it. Astonishingly, the vehicle then continued on its path before finally coming to a stop in the nearby woods.

The woman, now identified as Christina Thomas, was 71 years old and did not have a known address. It is unclear at this stage if she was waiting at the bus stop or somewhere else when she was struck.
