Washington, DC resident Muhammad Salim, 58, was killed in a crash in Upper Marlboro early on Wednesday, Aug. 24 after being struck by a car that was later located by investigators.

Officers from the department were called at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning to the 10000 block of Frank Tippet Road in the unincorporated section of Upper Marlboro for a crash involving a motorcycle being driven by Salim, police said.

Upon arrival, the officers found Salim unresponsive on the side of the roadway and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
