Police in Prince George’s County said they are looking for a garbage truck that they think was involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash on the Capital Beltway near MD 4 in the Forestville area. It’s possible that the garbage truck driver didn’t even know the crash had happened, since the truck is so much larger than Ahmed’s vehicle, police said Tuesday afternoon.
