Update: All lanes now open on westbound ICC (MD-200)
———————————————
A fatal crash involving a pedestrian occurred on westbound MD-200 earlier this morning, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue PIO Pete Piringer.
The pedestrian was struck at approximately 3:30am going westbound on the ICC, prior to Georgia Avenue. MCFRS responded and evaluated one trauma patient who succumbed to injuries on the scene and was not transported to the hospital.
The crash has blocked all lanes, according to the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination Program (MATOC)., and an extended closure is likely with traffic being diverted to Layhill Rd.
