A Montgomery County, Maryland, man is dead after a vehicle struck him shortly after his own car crashed along Interstate 270 early Saturday morning. The man, whose identity has yet to be made public, was traveling south on I-270 near I-370 in Rockville when he lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons and collided with the median wall around midnight, Maryland State Police said in a news release. He was then reported to have entered the left side of the roadway on foot to flag down other drivers, when a passing Hyundai hit him.
