The family of Loretta Canter Andrews, a Prince George’s County mother who was hit and killed while crossing the street last Friday night, is speaking out about their loss. Loretta, a mother of three and grandmother of three, was struck by a car on Indian Head Highway just minutes away from her home in Accokeek. Her son, TJ Andrews, described her as a caring person who took care of the elderly and veterans through in-home health care. The family is devastated by the loss, especially so close to the holidays.
The incident occurred on a stretch of road known as the “highway of death” where speeding is a common issue. The family is still waiting for answers as to what exactly happened – was it speeding or someone running a red light? The driver did not stop after hitting Loretta, and police are still searching for any information or witnesses that may help with the investigation.
The family is urging anyone with information to come forward, as they are still waiting for surveillance camera footage to provide more insight into the tragic accident. Loretta’s family is mourning her loss and is heartbroken by the sudden and senseless tragedy. Police have not released a description of the vehicle involved but are pleading with the public for any information that may help bring closure to the family.
