Montgomery Village, Maryland
The foreman of a work crew was hit and killed on the Capital Beltway in Montgomery County, Maryland, on Wednesday by a driver who fled, authorities say.
Eric Lewis, of D.C., was the victim, Maryland State Police said. He was 57.
Police say the driver of a 2021 Freightliner truck fled and was later identified as Jadien Ranard Jones, 39, of Henrico, Virginia. Charges against him are pending. Police did not immediately say how he was identified.
Lewis was a loyal friend, a good worker and a high-ranking member of the Road Wolves Motorcycle Club, the owner of the company for which he worked for four years said.
Lewis worked with a tree-cutting crew that was doing work for the State Highway Administration along the Inner Loop of the Beltway near Georgia Avenue when the truck hit him at about 10:15 a.m., police said.
