Recent pedestrian-involved crashes in Maryland

In the past five years, Maryland saw a 23% increase in pedestrian-involved fatal crashes, according to data from the State Department of Transportation.   

On Saturday morning, a 78-year-old pedestrian was killed after being struck by a vehicle in Dundalk.

In October of 2025, Annapolis families assembled to call for drivers to slow down, following the death of an 11-year-old boy who was hit by a car while using a crosswalk on his way to school.

Additionally, on Tuesday morning, an 11-year-old child was struck by an SUV as school was letting out at Green Street Academy.

A video on social media showed the boy getting hit after he ran into the street to record a fight between several other children.
