WESTMINSTER, Md. — A 53-year-old Westminster man is dead after being hit by a car Saturday night.

David Comer was reportedly hit by an oncoming Kia at the intersection of Baltimore Boulevard (Rt. 140) and Gorsuch Road.

At the time Comer was with his 24-year-old son, Zachary.

The 18-year-old driver remained at the scene, when Zachary allegedly attacked her passenger.

Zachary and the passenger were hospitalized for injuries related to the post-crash assault.

Maryland State Police say charges against Zachary are pending.

While there's been no official determination of who was at fault for the collision, the investigation indicates that David and Zachary both ran into the roadway from the median.

That area of Baltimore Boulevard was closed to traffic for three-hours following the incident.
