Highland, MD (February 12, 2025) – A pedestrian was injured late Tuesday night in a collision on Mink Hollow Rd near Ashton Rd. The incident occurred around 9:45 PM when an adult was struck by a passing vehicle while attempting to pull another car out of a ditch.

Emergency responders from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) arrived quickly at the scene to provide aid. The injured individual was transported by HCM55 as a Priority 2 trauma patient, indicating serious but non-life-threatening injuries (NLTI). Authorities have not released additional details regarding the condition of the victim or whether the driver of the striking vehicle remained at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation as officials work to determine the factors leading to the collision, including road conditions, visibility, and driver awareness at the time of impact.

Our thoughts are with the injured individual, and we hope for their swift recovery.

Pedestrian Safety on Maryland Roads

Accidents involving pedestrians, especially in low-light conditions and rural areas like Mink Hollow Rd, pose significant risks. In this case, the victim was assisting with a disabled vehicle when they were struck—an all-too-common scenario that highlights the dangers of roadside emergencies.

Maryland roads, particularly in suburban and rural regions, often have limited street lighting and narrow shoulders, making pedestrian visibility a serious concern. Drivers may not always anticipate individuals outside their vehicles, particularly at night. Factors such as distracted driving, excessive speed, and poor weather conditions can further contribute to these incidents.

For those assisting a stranded vehicle, safety precautions are critical. If possible, drivers should move their vehicles completely off the road, use hazard lights, and wear reflective gear or use a flashlight to improve visibility. Pedestrians should remain aware of approaching traffic and avoid standing in active lanes whenever possible.

Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries. Recovery can be lengthy and costly, with medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress affecting victims and their families. Seeking appropriate medical care and understanding legal options can be essential steps in the recovery process.

If you or someone you love has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it is important to connect with the right resources for medical support, legal guidance, and financial assistance.
