Man Ejected from Moving Car in Lothian, Left on Roadway

Update: 11:45 a.m. Wednesday. Several friends of the victim have contacted Edgewater-Davidsonville Patch to say that the victim died on Tuesday while at University of Maryland Medical Center.

On Monday (Feb. 7) around 6 p.m., Anne Arundel County police and emergency services were called to Marlboro Road near Farmhouse lane in Lothian for a report of a man who had been ejected from a vehicle. When police arrived, they found the victim, David Joseph Tretick, 23, of the 6700 block of Berkshire drive in Temple Hills, and transported him via helicopter to University of Maryland Shock Trauma in critical condition.

According to a police statement, a witness at the scene reported that while driving south on Mt. Zion/Marlboro Road, he saw the rear passenger door of the vehicle in front of him open, and the victim fall out onto the roadway. The vehicle, possibly an older model, red or maroon, foreign sedan—possibly a Nissan Sentra—with a box-style shape and rectangular taillights with chrome in between them, continued down the road without stopping.

Tretick remains at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Police are asking that anyone with information on this incident contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 410-222-3450 or the Anne Arundel County Police Department at 410-222-8610.
