POOLESVILLE, MD — A Frederick man was arrested and charged Monday in connection with the fatal hit-and-run that occurred in Poolesville over the weekend.

Montgomery County Police said Travis Edward Lowe, 26, is facing several traffic-related charges, including failure to return and remain at a collision involving death.

Lowe was identified as a person of interest after investigators received a tip from a resident.

The deadly incident occurred Sunday shortly before 2 a.m., near the intersection of Fisher Avenue and Milford Mill Road.

Poolesville resident Dakota Joseph Grimsby, 27, suffered fatal injuries after being hit by a car in the area of 19630 Fisher Avenue. Grimsby was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital, according to police.

At the time, investigators said they believed the driver of the striking vehicle fled the scene from the westbound lanes of Fisher Avenue toward Elgin Road.

Additional analysis at the crash site saw authorities uncover vehicle debris that indicated the car may have been a Chevrolet Silverado truck made between 2020 and 2023.

Lowe was arrested in Frederick County after investigators found his white Chevrolet Silverado parked outside a business. The vehicle, according to police, had signs of front-end damage.

The Frederick man is being held while awaiting bond at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit in Rockville.

An investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
