The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that claimed the life of a Frederick woman Thursday evening. Deputies responded around 6:20 p.m. to the area of Bethel Road and White Rock Avenue for a reported collision involving a pedestrian.
Investigators say 46-year-old Vung Sian was walking near the right side of the southbound lane on Bethel Road when she was struck by a southbound Nissan Altima. Emergency crews attempted life-saving measures, but Sian was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that neither drugs, alcohol, nor excessive speed appear to have contributed to the crash.
