On the night of March 6, Christian J. Widomski, 44, was killed in a hit-and-run incident near his home on the 2800-block of Harford Road.

Widomski was walking behind a snow blower on the shoulder of the road when a vehicle is said to have lost control and struck Widomski, according to the Maryland State Police report.

Police are seeking help from the public in identifying the driver, who was driving a Jeep Cherokee. Allegedly the driver, after striking Widomski, continued to head north toward MD Route 152, police said.

According to Maryland State Police, “The vehicle that struck the victim is described by witnesses as a dark colored Jeep Cherokee, with dark flared fenders and a silver push bumper.  The vehicle has a lift kit, which means it sets higher off the road than regular Jeep Cherokees.”

Widomski’s wife, Shannon Trussell-Widomski, class of ’88, is left with her two sons Charlie and Sam.

Anyone with information about the driver or vehicle is urged to contact Maryland State Police at 410-879-2101.
