Pedestrian Accident: Man Killed on Route 29 & Old Columbia Road

Incident Information

Authorities in Howard County are diligently examining a tragic sequence of events that unfolded in Laurel on a recent Sunday. Post-7 p.m., police units were dispatched to a reported instance of domestic violence on the 11200 block of Chaucers Ridge Court.

Upon arrival, officers were met with a morbid scene, finding a female deceased. In a rapid succession of events, a related emergency was reported less than a minute later—this time on northbound Route 29 near Old Columbia Road—where an automobile had collided with a male pedestrian who was also declared deceased at the scene. 

The driver, unscathed, cooperated with authorities at the site. Preliminary findings suggest the male pedestrian had previously attacked the female at his home before venturing into the roadway and encountering an unrelated vehicle. The complex case is actively under investigation, with further details to be disclosed as they become available.
