BOWIE, Md. Washington Teacher s Union President Elizabeth Liz Davis was one of two people killed in a two-vehicle crash on Sunday evening in Prince George s County, according to Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The crash happened around 10:24 p.m. on Route 301 in the area of Harbor Way, police said.
An investigation into the crash revealed that Davis, 70, was driving her 2014 Honda CR-V southbound on Route 301 in the area of Harbor Way, when she collided with the driver of a 2006 Toyota Scion, identified as 68-year-old John Starr, of Annapolis, Md., according to Maryland State Police.
“President Davis has been at the forefront of public education advocacy and reform, leading the WTU’s transformation into a social justice, solution-driven organization dedicated to advancing and promoting quality education for all children, irrespective of their zip codes or results of the school lottery, improving teaching and learning conditions, and aggressively amplifying the voice of teachers in the dialogue around issues of teaching and learning,” the Washington Teachers’ Union said in a statement.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser held a moment of silence for Davis at her press conference Monday.
“My thoughts and condolences are with Liz’s family and friends,” D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said in a statement. “It’s always unfortunate to lose someone. It is especially difficult when the death is an unexpected accident.”
