Police Identify Victim in Fatal Hit-and-Run Collision With Silver Audi

Montgomery County Police are asking for the public’s help to identify the driver of a silver 2009–2012 Audi A4 or S4 involved in a fatal hit-and-run that killed 52-year-old Ganga Prajapati on Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton.

According to MCPD, detectives from the Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) are investigating the September 23 incident in which Prajapati, of New Carrollton, was struck and fatally injured around 7:27 p.m. near Veirs Mill Road and Ennalls Avenue. She was transported to an area hospital, where she later died of her injuries.

Police say the vehicle was traveling eastbound and is believed to have damage to the windshield, right front fog light assembly, and possibly the left front headlight assembly, with the headlight hanging and the passenger-side fog light missing.

CRU detectives are urging anyone with information to call 240-773-6620 or remain anonymous by calling 1-866-411-TIPS. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
