Summary

Pedestrian Hit Gaithersburg Maryland in Gaithersburg, Maryland: A 26‑year‑old man was arrested at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on June 18 for trying to board a flight to Honduras after being charged with manslaughter by vehicle and failure to remain at the scene of an accident that caused death. The charges stem from a hit‑and‑run crash that occurred around 4:47 a.m. on June 17, when the suspect’s gray 2011 Honda CR‑V ran over a pedestrian named Brian Roy Longaberger near the intersection of Muddy Branch Road and West Diamond Avenue in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Authorities identified him as the driver after a reconstruction analysis; he was later held in Elizabeth, New Jersey while awaiting extradition to Maryland.
