Hyattsville man dead after crash in Silver Spring

A man is dead following a single-vehicle crash early Thursday morning in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Montgomery County police said 20-year-old Julio Aldail Rodriquez-Interiang, of Hyattsville, Maryland, was driving a 2008 Acura TL on New Hampshire Avenue near Wolf Drive when he lost control of the vehicle, went off the right side of the road and hit a traffic light support pole.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing, though police said speed appears to be a factor in the crash.

Anyone with information about the collision is being asked to call detectives at 240-773-6620.

DC-area volunteers raising money for truck to support Ukraine war effort

Some D.C.-area residents are trying to raise enough money to send a specially equipped truck to Ukraine as part of a nationwide grassroots fundraising campaign. Bethesda, Maryland, resident Jeffrey Bloch is helping lead Maryland's effort through the 50 States for Ukraine campaign. The group is trying to raise $13,000 for a vehicle for use by a Ukrainian military unit. Funds raised through 50 States for Ukraine are used by the organization Car for Ukraine to purchase, modify and deliver vehicles. According to the fundraising website, efforts in neighboring D.C. and Virginia have already raised enough money to fund multiple vehicles. “These are not really the large military vehicles or tanks, things like that, that are normally associated with government aid packages, but they are a bit smaller vehicles that are not covered under these aid packages, but they're very urgently needed on the ground," Bloch said.
