SNOW HILL, Md. — Maryland State Police are investigating a deadly crash that killed a 69-year-old man early Friday morning along Snow Hill Road in Worcester County.
The pedestrian was identified as Dehart Herbert Lamb Jr., of Snow Hill. Emergency medical services personnel pronounced him dead at the scene, according to Maryland State Police.
Troopers from the Berlin Barrack were called around 4:21 a.m. to Route 12, also known as Snow Hill Road, near Carmean Road after reports that a person had been hit by a car.
A preliminary investigation found that Lamb was walking along Snow Hill Road when he was struck. Police say the driver of the car stopped and stayed on the scene.
