WASHINGTON, D.C. - Police say a 50-year-old woman was killed Tuesday night after she was hit by a car while she waited at a Metrobus stop in D.C., and investigators believe the driver of the car was high on drugs at the time of the accident.
Investigators say Mary Jones, a mother of four, was on her way to work when she was killed. According to police, the driver was on PCP and speeding before leaving the road and hitting Jones as she stood at the bus stop on Southern Avenue SE. In fact, they believe Glendale Ogburn of Forestville, Maryland was doing 50 mph in a 25 mph zone when is Cadillac struck Jones.
Police say Ogburn never touched his brakes, and when they arrived at the hospital, he was so high he had no idea what happened.
Ogburn has been charged with second-degree murder.
Just after 7 p.m. Tuesday, Portia Wenze-Danley told FOX 5 she was watching television with her family when she heard the terrible crash outside her front door.
Jones was already dead when, found more than 100 feet from where she was waiting for the bus. The car that hit her ended up on the front lawn of a neighbor's house.
"She was completely still-- wasn't moving, anything," said Wenze-Danley.
As 911 gave instructions over the phone, Wenze-Danley and her next door neighbor worked to save the nurse's life.
"But we couldn't get a pulse or hear her breath or anything," she said.
Police say when they went to assist the driver of the Cadillac, his passenger resisted and assaulted a paramedic. Police later found he had a large quantity of marijuana in the car.
According to police, both men were under the influence of PCP.
Mary Jones lived in an apartment across the street from where she died. No one answered the door when FOX 5 went to her home on Thursday.
Jones was on her way to work at the Specialty Hospital of Washington on Capital Hill, a long-term acute care facility.
The passenger in the car has been identified as Frederick Stewart of Rockville, Maryland. He has been charged with assault on a police officer for fighting paramedics at the scene as well as possession of marijuana.
