A teenager was struck and killed by a car Saturday night in Calvert County Maryland.
The victim, identified as Anthony G. Vidal, 15, of Saint Leonard, Maryland, was allegedly kneeling or lying in the road, wearing dark clothing, when the driver of a Jeep Wrangler struck him, Maryland State Police said.
The crash happened about 9 p.m. around Flag Harbor and Calvert boulevards in Saint Leonard. According to a preliminary investigation, the driver, a 37-year-old Maryland woman, saw something in the road and tried to avoid it but was unable to, police said.
