In addition to the often-severe physical toll a pedestrian accident can take, victims of pedestrian accidents can face a lengthy rehab, exorbitant medical bills, long term lost wages, and emotional trauma. This Malloy news brief will cover the details of this unfortunate accident and explain how the expertise of a personal injury attorney can be the difference maker when seeking compensation.
Silver Spring Pedestrian Accident – 10/19/25
On the night of Sunday, September 19, 2025, a thirteen year old Montgomery County girl was attempting to cross Georgia Avenue southbound at the Evans Drive intersection, just south of the Wheaton Mall, when she was struck by the driver of a 2004 Acura TL. The circumstances leading to the crash are still under investigation by Montgomery County Police. The thirteen year old sustained serious injuries, but is in stable condition after being rushed to Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC. The police response to the incident closed Georgia Avenue between Plyers Mill Road and Evans Drive for three hours after the collision.
This is the third in a series of unfortunate pedestrian accidents involving children in the county, as the recent deaths of a Kensington high school baseball player and a Rockville middle schooler, killed by a school bus while riding her bike, have both taken place within the past two months.
