Vehicle also crashed into store, police say BY
EMILIE EASTMAN STAFF WRITER
A pedestrian died of critical injuries Jan. 13 after being struck by a vehicle that hit a patch of ice on Rhode Island Avenue and crashed into a store, according to Prince George’s County police. Jose Martin Huaman, 24, of
Hyattsville was walking to the bus stop on his way to work at the Arundel Mills mall when the incident happened, his aunt, Nancy Ibarra Forcune, said. “He was a very hard worker. Very honest,” she said. “He was working very hard because he has a sister with lupus and he was trying to help.” The driver of the vehicle, a 44-year-old woman, lost control of her car near the 4800 block of Rhode Island Avenue and crashed into the front of an
upholstery store after striking Huaman, police spokeswoman Nicole Hubbard said. The incident is still under investigation, and charges have not yet been filed, Hubbard said. Huaman, who was unmarried, leaves behind three sisters, Forcune said. “Everybody loved him. He had very good qualities,” she said. “We weren’t ready.” eeastman@gazette.net
