A father of four taking his son and a daughter out for a late lunch in Silver Spring was killed when a driver fleeing police crossed a double-yellow line, slammed into a sport utility vehicle carrying Terrence A. Blackwell and sent it into a utility pole, according to police and Blackwell’s family. Blackwell, 46, died three years to the day after his second wife died from an illness, Blackwell’s 21-year-old daughter Constance Blackwell told The Washington Examiner.
D.C. resident Edwin Samuel Barber was driving the van that struck the SUV that Terrence A. Blackwell was a passenger in, police said. Barber, who was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, has not been charged with any crime. His 11-month-old daughter was in the van, but was not injured.
