ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. — A pedestrian was struck and killed by the driver of a vehicle in Anne Arundel County early Thursday morning, leaving police searching for answers and a suspect vehicle.

Troopers from the Maryland State Police responded to the area of I-97 southbound at Maryland Route 648, just before 2 a.m., after a report of a person being struck by a vehicle. 

Through an initial investigation, it was determined that the person, identified as 54-year-old Delroy Ben, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, was struck by what troopers believe was a 2010-18 black Audi A8 or S8.
