Fatal New Carrollton hit-and-run death of Tara Carter
The authorities have confirmed the identity of the cyclist who was involved in a hit-and-run accident Thursday in Prince George’s County. The injured bicyclist was identified as Tara Carter, who was 55 years old and resided in Lanham.
The incident happened in the late afternoon, specifically just before 8 p.m. It occurred in the 8400 block of Annapolis Road, located in New Carrollton. Emergency medical services were dispatched to the scene and transported Ms. Carter to a nearby hospital. Regrettably, her condition deteriorated, and she passed away later at the medical facility.
According to police reports, the individual responsible for hitting Ms. Carter drove away from the scene. Law enforcement officials mentioned that they successfully located the driver. This development followed the appearance of a witness who came forward to provide information to the authorities.
