Northeast, DC resident 72-year-old Ralph Patrick Wilson was unloading and loading items into the back of his Cadillac Escalade at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25 in the 900 block of K Street Park when he was struck by a 2013 Ford Explorer, according to a spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson.
