Germantown cyclist killed in crash may have been hit by more than one car, police say

Police are still investigating what led up to the crash.

GERMANTOWN, Md. — A cyclist was killed in a crash in Germantown on Wednesday night, the Montgomery County Department of Police said.

The crash happened around 10 p.m. in the area of Plummer Drive and Frederick Road.

The police department said the cyclist and a vehicle collided. 

Just after 11 p.m., police confirmed that the cyclist was pronounced dead. The driver involved in the crash stayed on the scene.

The cyclist was identified Thursday as 28-year-old David Glenn Jenkins II, of Germantown.

MD-355 was closed in both directions between Plummer Drive and Gunner Branch overnight, but has since reopened. 

A preliminary investigation found that Jenkins was traveling east to west across Frederick Road when he was struck by a silver 2005 Acura RSX that was headed northbound on Frederick Road. 

The driver of the Acura stayed at the scene of the crash, but crash detectives are investigating the possibility that other vehicles may have been involved in the collision. Police are asking anyone who has information to contact them at 240-773-6620.

According to ZeroDeathsMD.org, this is the 10th pedestrian death in Montgomery County so far this year, and the first cyclist death. Four cyclists died in the county in all of 2022.
