Officials say that at approximately 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, 74-year-old Christopher Carryington, of North Beach, was operating his mobility scooter in the crosswalk when he was struck by Owings resident Kathy Ann Jones, 67, in Chesapeake Beach.

According to investigators, “at this time, it appears that driver error was a contributing factor to this collision.”
