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.

I’ve had the opportunity to know Paul professionally, and what has consistently stood out to me is his integrity. He is honest, dependable, and genuinely committed to doing the right thing.

In every interaction, he has been thoughtful, respectful, and focused on building trust rather than simply making promises.

What I respect most is that he combines extensive professional experience with strong personal values. He genuinely cares about people and brings a human touch to everything he does. His reliability, honesty, and willingness to make time for others are qualities that are not always easy to find.

I have a great deal of respect for Paul and would feel 200% confident recommending him to others.
