Version 0 of 1. A woman died days after an accident in Silver Spring, where two vehicles struck her while she walked in a marked crosswalk, Montgomery County police said Monday. The woman, identified by authorities as 26-year-old Beza K. Mesfin of Silver Spring, succumbed to her injuries Sunday. Police said the accident happened around 7:55 a.m. Friday in the area of East Randolph Road and Tourmaline Court.

The driver of the Taurus, a 55-year-old Rockville woman, and the driver of the Pilot, a 49-year-old Silver Spring man, were not injured in the crash. The accident remains under investigation, a department press release said.
