A Maryland man has died after he was struck by two vehicles — including one that failed to stop — while walking near a Montgomery County intersection Friday night, police said.

A Silver Spring, Maryland, man has died after being struck by two vehicles — including one that failed to stop — as he walked near an intersection in Montgomery County Friday night, police said.

According to police, a Honda Odyssey mounted a curb “for unknown reasons” while traveling westbound on Randolph Avenue near the intersection of Kimblewick Drive shortly after 10 p.m., striking 52-year-old Ronaldo Franzese and causing him to ” fall on the road.”

A white, four-door Acura then struck Franzese, who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The Acura “fled the scene without rendering aid” to Franzese, and was seen traveling north on New Hampshire Avenue and then west on Randolph Avenue, according to police.

“The Acura may be a white 2009-2012 Acura TL, which is missing the fender line and may have more damage on the front end, closer to the ground,” the police said in a statement.
