Pedestrian Dies From Injuries in Rockville Crash

ROCKVILLE, MD — A pedestrian hit by a car on a Rockville street last month died Friday, nearly two weeks after he was injured, according to Montgomery County Police. Pedro Mendoza, 54, of Gilbert Road in Rockville died at a local hospital from injuries he suffered in the accident that happened shortly before 9 p.m. Oct. 16 at Norbeck Road (Route 28) and Baltimore Road in Rockville.

Investigators say Jum Soon Kim of Burtonsville was driving a 1999 Acura Integra eastbound on Norbeck Road. As Kim went through the intersection of Baltimore Road, she struck Mendoza, who was crossing Norbeck Road on the east side of the intersection.

Detectives had asked the public for help identifying him, which took two days. Police continue to investigate the fatal accident; anyone with information about the accident is urged to call 240.773.6620.
