In the quiet hours of early Wednesday morning, tragedy struck in Prince George’s County around 2:30 am. Authorities were alerted to a deadly hit-and-run crash, leaving two individuals dead. The scene of the accident was near the intersection of Landover Road and 63rd Place in Cheverly. The incident quickly became a fiery one, with flames engulfing the area.

The accident left two people dead and the driver of a stolen Kia on the run who had fled the scene quickly after.
