Off-Duty PGPD Officer Investigated After Fatal Crash

A fatal crash in Prince George's County, Maryland, is under investigation after off-duty police officer Anthony Coleman allegedly struck and killed retired D.C. police detective Carlton Herndon on Route 301. Authorities believe speed and alcohol were contributing factors, and Coleman, 34, refused medical treatment at the scene and has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation. The deadly collision occurred at a dangerous intersection in Brandywine, where residents have long called for safety improvements. No charges have been filed yet, and the Maryland State Police are leading the investigation. In a separate incident in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, 92-year-old Edward Wiszczor Sr., a Korean War veteran and retired steel worker, died after being struck by a vehicle while crossing Route 19, with his death ruled accidental. Authorities continue to seek information in both cases.
