Deadly I-695 Crash: Pedestrian Still Not Identified, Police Say

RANDALLSTOWN, MD — Nearly a week after a man was killed walking on Interstate 695, police are still trying to identify him. He has several tattoos, including a black heart on his chest, the words “Mad Love” on his abdomen and a face with wings on his right arm, officials say.

Based on witness accounts, police said the man was stumbling on the shoulder of the Interstate 695 outer loop before Liberty Road around 8:30 p.m. Friday.

Two good Samaritans who saw him pulled over on the side of the road to offer assistance, but before they could get to him, officials said he stumbled into the far right lane, where he was hit by a Hyundai Genesis. Police said the man was pushed into the next lane and hit by a Chevrolet Silverado. The Silverado rear-ended the Hyundai Genesis before stopping, with the pedestrian pinned under the truck.

Troopers were called after 8:30 p.m. for a report of a man stuck under a pickup truck, and they said the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Neither of the drivers was injured in the crash.

The victim remains unidentified, Maryland State Police spokesperson Ron Synder told Patch Wednesday morning.

He is described as a black man 30 to 50 years old who is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 171 pounds with short black hair and a goatee. He has multiple tattoos, including a black heart, "Mad Love" on his stomach and a face with wings on his right arm.

When he died, police said the man was wearing a tuxedo shirt, black bowtie, white shirt, tan belt, black sweatpants and white socks with white sneakers.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact the Maryland State Police Golden Ring Barrack at 410-780-2700.
