Maryland's Green Party plans to meet this weekend to select a U.S. Senate candidate to run in the general election after the party's nominee, Natasha Pettigrew, died earlier this week after being hit by a sport utility vehicle while biking.
Pettigrew was training for a triathlon when she was struck around 5:30 a.m. Sunday near Largo. She died of her injuries sometime between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning at a Prince George's County hospital, Maryland State Police said.
The driver of the SUV allegedly told police she thought she had hit a deer. She called police after returning home and finding Pettigrew's bicycle beneath her Cadillac Escalade. An investigation is ongoing.
