Pedestrian Hit By Vehicle at Great Seneca, Kentlands Boulevard

A woman was struck by a vehicle while legally crossing the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Kentlands Boulevard on Jan. 23, according to a report by The Town Courier.

The woman was walking through the crosswalk when the driver "was making a left-hand turn from Kentlands Boulevard onto Great Seneca Highway when the vehicle in front of the driver’s car stopped," Montgomery County police spokewoman officer Rebecca Innocenti told The Town Courier. "The driver then tried to get around the stopped vehicle and collided with the pedestrian who was legally in the crosswalk."

The pedestrian was taken to the trauma center at Suburban Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries and the driver has been charged with passing a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian at a crosswalk and contributing to an accident, according to the report.

Multiple local residents said on The Town Courier's Facebook page the intersection is extremely unsafe, and one had stopped crossing at the intersection all together.
