The Prince George's County Police Department's Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal car crash in Lanham. The victim is 62-year-old Gary Lionell Jackson of Ridge Street in Lanham. 

On July 4, 2014, at about 10:15 pm, patrol officers were called to the 11400 block of Lanham Severn Road for the report of a crash involving a single car. When they arrived, they discovered the car had struck a tree. The passenger, Jackson, was pronounced dead on the scene. The driver suffered minor injuries.
