Man Dies After Falling Off Side of Moving SUV: Police

A Prince George’s County man died after he apparently jumped on the side of a moving SUV, then fell and suffered head injuries.

Authorities say there is no foul play suspected, and the death is termed accidental. But investigators are seeking witnesses to the incident.

The Prince George’s County Police Department says Michael Anthony Johnson, 44, of Dewey Court in Indian Head died Monday.

Officers were called to the 700 block of Cady Drive in Fort Washington about 2 a.m. Monday for the report of a pedestrian accident. When they arrived, they found Johnson suffering from critical injuries. He was pronounced dead at an area hospital.

Police believe Johnson jumped onto the running board of a moving SUV, fell off and hit his head on the ground.
