ROSEDALE, MD—One pedestrian was killed and another was injured while trying to cross Route 40 on Sunday night.

At just after 8:15 p.m. on March 6, two pedestrians were struck as they attempted to cross Pulaski Highway.  Authorities have determined that the driver of the 2006 BMW 750i that struck the pedestrians was traveling westbound on Pulaski Highway, in the westbound lane, approaching Batavia Farm Road (21237) when the crash occurred.

Darious T. Eason, 36, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second pedestrian, who suffered minor injuries, was taken to a local hospital.

A preliminary investigation indicates that the pedestrians involved in this crash were crossing against the pedestrian signal and were outside the crosswalk when they were struck.

Investigators continue to review all factors involved in this crash.
