Teen dies days after getting hit by car in Montgomery Co.

The crash occurred near Seneca Valley High School.

GERMANTOWN, Md. — A 15-year-old boy who was hit by a car in Germantown, Maryland died Friday from his injuries, police said.

At 8:53 p.m., officers with the Montgomery County Police Department responded to the area of Wisteria Drive and Great Seneca Highway for the crash involving a pedestrian. 

At the crash scene, near Seneca Valley High School, a teenage boy was found. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he died three days later.

A preliminary investigation found that the boy was crossing Wisteria Drive when, for reasons that are still under investigation, he was struck by an Acura.

Investigators say the driver of the Acura stayed on the scene.

Wisteria Drive was closed in both directions between Great Seneca Highway and Circle Gate Drive following the crash, police said. Roads have since reopened.

Police are asking anyone who may have information about the crash to contact Crash Reconstruction Unit detectives at 240-773-6620.
