WASHINGTON, DC – A pedestrian and cyclist died while a driver and passenger suffered injuries after a single-car crash Saturday evening.

According to ABC 7, the fatal collision took place at the intersection of Minnesota Avenue NE and Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue NE around 5:40 PM on July 2nd.

A Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was reportedly traveling northbound on Minnesota Avenue  when the driver suffered a medical emergency and lost consciousness.

The pickup truck collided with a cyclist in the intersection and then crashed into a fireworks stand, striking another person.

Both the cyclist and the pedestrian working the fireworks stand died at the scene. They have been identified as 70-year-old Michael Hawkins Randall and 64-year-old Charles Jackson.

The driver and passenger in the pickup truck were both hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

Metro police continue to investigate the fatal accident.

This firm provided some great information that I think almost anyone who has been in an accident could benefit from. You still may need a lawyer like Paul to handle some of the specifics.

I've had to attain the services of Attorney Samakow on two separate occasions, and both times I received outstanding customer service. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the legal process, which really helped put me at ease. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to his clients truly stand out. I highly recommend Attorney Samakow and his legal team to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy motor vehicle accident attorney.
