Worker on 424 Killed

The Anne Arundel County Police have arrested a 48-year-old Davidsonville man and charged him with negligent manslaughter (among others) after striking a stopped vehicle in a work zone, and then continuing on to strike and kill a flagger on a rural Davidsonville road.

On Tuesday night, May 17, 2022, just after 10:00 pm, Anne Arundel County Police responded to Davidsonville Road (MD 424) at Kings Retreat Road for a crash involving a pedestrian.

The pedestrian flagger was wearing a high visibility reflective vest and high visibility reflective pants. The pedestrian received life-threatening injuries and was flown to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where she was pronounced deceased.

The victim has been identified as Lizeth Guzman, 56, of Baltimore.

Field sobriety tests were administered to the driver of the Jeep, and he was subsequently taken into custody for further testing, where he was found to be under the influence of alcohol and placed under arrest.

The driver was charged with multiple charges including:

• Negligent Manslaughter
• Criminally Neg Manslaughter
• Homicide by MV While Under the Influence of Alcohol
• Homicide by MV While Impaired by Alcohol
• DUI
