A 23-year-old man was fatally struck by a car in front of the Glen Burnie District Court building Wednesday night, according to Anne Arundel County police.
Joshua Paul Reitz of the 200 block of Carroll Road in Pasadena was pronounced dead at the scene at about 9 p.m.
An initial investigation showed that Reitz was trying to cross the southbound lanes in the 7500 block of Ritchie Highway when he was struck by a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix that was traveling in the far left lane and was driven by Clifford Smith, 24, of Glen Burnie. Reitz was wearing dark clothes and was not in the crosswalk, police said.
Investigators cited pedestrian error as the primary cause of the accident.
