Police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident on Harford Road

BALTIMORE, Md. – According to police, this happened just before 10 p.m. Tuesday night on a narrowing section of Harford Road.

44-year-old Darryl Summerville Sr. was attempting to cross the street when a vehicle struck and killed him before disappearing into the night.

Charles Hicks works at nearby Harford Professional Barbers.

“It’s happening,” Hicks said, “It’s going to happen here, between here, just like there’s a speed camera on the street between this light and the next light because of the school, but there are no speed cameras up here…hardly any speed limit.”… you can barely see a speed limit sign, so between that area, between Broadway and 25th Street, it’s crazy.”

This is not the first time vehicles have struck pedestrians in the 2300 block.

Just ask Treyvon Green.

It happened to him last year.

“I got hit right there at the stoplight on Harford Road,” Green said. “It continued and I fell to the ground, but luckily I was fine.” They didn’t stop at all. These cars fly up and down Harford Road all day.”

Police describe the hit-and-run vehicle as a white, mid-size SUV and believe the windshield and driver’s side headlight may have been damaged.

Why the vehicle left the scene of an accident remains a mystery for now, but the law requires drivers to remain at the scene of an accident and attempt to provide assistance to victims, no matter the circumstances.

“I offer my condolences to the person who lost their life out here,” Green said, “and you have to watch out for these drivers out here. “That’s all.”
