WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD – Do you recognize this vehicle? If so, please contact the Maryland State Police, there could be a $10,000 reward involved.
At about 4:19 a.m. on June 19, troopers from the Maryland State Police Hagerstown Barrack responded to eastbound Interstate 70 west of Maryland Route 66 for a report of a pedestrian who was struck while working in a construction zone. According to a preliminary investigation, a road crew was backing up in the left lane of eastbound I-70 and removing construction barrels from a previous roadway project.
Now, Maryland State Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run work zone crash that occurred last month in Washington County.
“The victim, Ever Anibal Aleman Ramos, 34, of Capitol Heights, Maryland was pulling barrels from the roadway behind a crash attenuator truck when he was struck. According to a preliminary investigation, the driver of the striking vehicle pulled onto the right shoulder for a short time, but soon left the scene. Ramos was declared deceased at the scene,” police said after the crash.
The suspect vehicle is described as a gray or silver, older model pickup truck, possibly a Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma. Ramos’ employer is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the identity and conviction of the hit-and-run driver.
