ABINGDON, MD—Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash in Harford County that claimed the life of a 22-year-old man.

The deceased pedestrian is identified as Rajwinder Singh, 22, of New York. Emergency medical personnel pronounced Singh deceased on the scene. Singh was the driver of a disabled Volvo tractor trailer that was parked on the shoulder with hazard lights running at the time of the incident.

The operator of a black 2017 Toyota Camry involved in the crash refused medical treatment on the scene.

The driver had three other passengers in the vehicle with him at the time of the crash. All three refused medical treatment at the scene.

At just after 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, troopers responded to a crash involving a pedestrian on southbound I-95 in Abingdon. The preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of a tractor trailer, later identified as Singh, was outside of his vehicle while parked on the shoulder.

For unknown reasons, the driver of the Camry traveled out of his lane and onto the shoulder. Police believe Singh was walking from the rear of the trailer to the tractor when the Camry traveled onto the shoulder and hit him.

Lanes were closed on southbound I-95 for approximately three hours.

The cause and contributing factors of the crash remain under investigation. Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation and consultation with the Harford County State’s Attorney.
