Police Investigating Fatal Collision on Rockville Pike
The driver of a BMW was charged Saturday night with driving under the influence after he struck a Rockville man on a scooter, who ultimately died, according to a Montgomery County police statement.
The deceased is Ross Stanley Redler, 56, of the 5900 block of Halpine Road, police said. He was driving a 2014 Tao Tao Scooter southbound on Rockville Pike, police said.
Mark Steven Andrade, 24, of the 7500 block of Democracy Boulevard in Bethesda was driving a 2008 BMW 335xi northbound, police said.
