Henrico's Jadien Ranard Jones, 39, was allegedly driving a white 2021 Freightliner straight truck that killed 57-year-old Eric Lewis, who was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in Montgomery County early on Wednesday morning.
The crash was reported at around 10:15 a.m. on Dec. 13 on I-495 near Georgia Avenue.
At the time of the crash, traffic cones were set up in the right shoulder of I-495 in Silver Spring, and police say that the crew was in the process of removing equipment from their work trucks and setting up roadway signs when Jones veered onto the right shoulder, through several cones and the foreman.
He then fled.
According to state police, the truck was later located at the Home Depot Distribution Center in Sparrows Point, which led them directly to Jones. Charges are still pending, officials said, as the investigation continues.
