Maryland State Police are reaching out to the community for help in tracking down a vehicle implicated in a deadly hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of a Virginia man in Baltimore County during the predawn hours today. In a notice posted on their official website, authorities detailed the sequence of events leading up to the pedestrian fatality and provided specifics on the sought vehicle.
The victim, Ahmed Waqus Qayun Kahn, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which took place on the outer loop of I-695 between Providence Road and Delaney Valley Road. He had been the passenger in a 2014 Toyota Camry, which was involved in a collision with another vehicle. According to the state police report, no other injuries were documented in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
A preliminary investigation, as outlined in the Maryland State Police press release, indicates that a Mitsubishi Outlander struck a concrete barrier and was immobilized in the left lane with hazard lights on before being rear-ended by the Toyota Camry. After both vehicles' occupants evacuated to the left shoulder, a Chevy Equinox swerved onto the shoulder, hitting Kahn while trying to avoid the Camry. The driver fled the location on foot.
Investigators are seeking further information about a 2025 red Chevy Equinox, believed to be the offending vehicle, which they report will exhibit damage on the front and passenger sides. Maryland State Police encourage anyone who witnessed the crash or has information related to this matter to come forward and contact the Golden Ring Barrack at 410-780-2700 or reach out directly to Corporal Lantz via email at [email protected].
