According to the Prince George’s County Police Department, the driver of a black Genesis was fleeing a traffic stop and was being chased by Prince George’s County police officers when the vehicle slammed into her SUV.
This is the third fatal car accident linked to police pursuits in the past month in Maryland.

Fatal car accidents caused by speeding remain a significant public safety concern in Maryland. According to state data, speeding is consistently one of the leading factors in traffic fatalities, with these accidents often resulting in catastrophic injuries before death occurs. The violent nature of high-speed collisions frequently leads to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and massive internal trauma.
From a personal injury perspective, families of victims killed in speeding-related crashes may pursue wrongful death claims against the at-fault driver. These claims can seek compensation for medical expenses incurred before death, funeral costs, lost future income, and the profound emotional suffering experienced by surviving family members.
The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Maryland is generally three years from the date of death, giving families a limited window to pursue justice. Damages in these cases often involve complex economic calculations regarding the victim’s lost future earnings and benefits, particularly challenging when young victims had their entire careers ahead of them. While no financial recovery can truly compensate for the loss of a loved one, these legal remedies aim to provide families with financial stability while holding reckless drivers accountable for their dangerous behavior.
