The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit would like to speak to anyone who witnessed or has information on a fatal pedestrian hit-and-run that occurred in the unincorporated section of Hyattsville last week. The deceased pedestrian is 47-year-old Constance Asanansi of Hyattsville.

On October 7, 2021, at approximately 7:30 pm, patrol officers were called to the 6500 block of Ager Road near 19th Place for a pedestrian collision. Once on scene, officers located the victim unresponsive in the roadway. She was taken to a hospital where she died on October 11, 2021.


The preliminary investigation revealed a vehicle traveling eastbound on Ager Road struck Asanansi in the roadway. The striking driver did not remain on the scene.
