There, officers found a man who had been hit by a car and was unconscious and not breathing.
He was taken to the hospital, where he died. He was identified as 47-year-old Edward Pearson.
Preliminarily, MPD said a 2017 GMC Sierra pickup truck pulled over on the highway because its truck bed cover was loose. The driver and Pearson got out to secure the cover.
A red 2005 Chrysler Sebring then improperly merged and hit the back of the GMC and Pearson, according to police. After that, a 2013 Toyota Avalon also struck the GMC and Pearson, who was in the roadway after being hit by the Chrysler.
Both the Avalon and Chrysler drivers stayed at the scene.
The driver and passenger of the Chrysler had to be taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Driver dies after colliding with Maryland State Police cruiser on I-95 in Howard County; 3 injured
HOWARD COUNTY, Md. () — One person is dead and three people were hospitalized after five vehicles, including a Maryland State Police cruiser, were involved in a crash in Howard County early Sunday. Just minutes after 2 a.m., MSP troopers received a call for a trooper-involved crash in the area of Interstate 95 south, north of Maryland 100. At the scene, troopers learned that an on-duty MSP trooper was sitting in his unmarked patrol vehicle on the left shoulder of I-95 when, for unknown reasons, a Jeep Cherokee hit him, according to MSP. Police said the impact of the crash caused the Jeep to go into the roadway, where a GMC pickup truck, a Lincoln SUV and a Volkswagen struck it. The driver of the Jeep, who police have not yet identified, died at the scene, and a passenger from the vehicle was taken to the hospital for treatment. The driver of the GMC pickup truck was also hospitalized. Responders rescue 2 people from Potomac River in DC after boat overturns Medics took the trooper to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
