Silver Spring Man Dies After Being Hit By 2 Vehicles: Police

SILVER SPRING, MD — A Silver Spring man died Friday after a minivan jumped the curb, knocking him into the street, where he was struck by a car whose driver fled, police said.

The hit-and-run pedestrian fatality occurred near the intersection of Randolph Road and Kimblewick Drive in the Colesville area about 10:12 p.m., Montgomery County Police said.

The pedestrian who was pronounced dead at the scene was identified as Ronaldo Franzese, 52, of Silver Spring.

Investigators said the driver of a white 2023 Honda Odyssey was westbound on Randolph Road when the van went over the curb and struck Franzese, causing him to fall into the road. The victim was then struck by a white, four-door Acura, whose driver fled the scene without helping Franzese.

The Acura may be a 2009-2012 Acura TL, which is missing a fender line and may have additional damage on the front end, near the ground, police said. The car was seen driving north on New Hampshire Avenue and then west on Randolph Road.

Anyone with information about the fatal crash is asked to contact detectives at crunit@montgomerycountymd.gov or (240) 773-6620.
