The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Collision Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation determined a 1994 Ford Ranger operated by Walter Tyrone Waul, age 55 of Callaway, was traveling east on Great Mills Road, and struck a pedestrian in a motorized wheelchair. The pedestrian, Eugene Elis Wood, age 39 of Lexington Park, was attempting to cross Great Mills Road in the area of Sheriff Miedzinski Way, when he was struck by the Ford Ranger. Wood was transported to an area hospital with incapacitating injuries, where he was later pronounced deceased.
