DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. - Prince George's County Police say just after 5:30 p.m., a 21-year-old man and a 28-year-old female were walking back to their homes from the library. They say as the two started to walk across the road at the exit off Walker Mill Road in District Heights, someone driving down the exit hit both pedestrians.
"They were crossing the street. It was a poorly lit area," said Corporal Larry Johnson of Prince George’s County Police.
Both victims were in the middle of the road when police arrived. The driver of the car didn't bother to stop.
Johnson says police are looking for a 1990 Honda Accord.
After being transported to the hospital, the 21-year-old man remains in critical condition. The 28-year-old woman did not survive.
Police are now focusing on finding witnesses who were in the area at the time of the fatal hit-and-run that could lead them to the driver behind the wheel.

The Amazing Uses of Salt
1. Sprinkle salt on your shelves to keep ants away.
2. Soak fish in salt water before descaling; the scales will come off easier.
3. Add salt to green salads to prevent wilting.
4.Test the freshness of eggs in a cup of salt water; fresh eggs sink; bad ones float.
5. Soak wrinkled apples in a mildly salted water solution to perk them up.
6.Use salt to clean your discolored coffee pot.
7. Pour a pound of salt on an ink spot on your carpet; let the salt soak up the stain.

Great Recipe
Full Moon's Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
6 slices French baguette
1 stick unsalted butter
5 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
4 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese (18 ounces)
2 cups grated Gruyere (8 ounces)
1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano (5 ounces)
1 pound elbow or shell pasta
Instructions:
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3 1/2-quart casserole dish. Make bread crumbs from the baguette in a food processor or blender. Mix the crumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and set aside.
2. Warm the milk over medium heat. In a separate pan, melt the remaining butter until bubbly. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Then, still whisking, add the warm milk a bit at a time. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Remove it from the heat. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and cheeses. Set aside.
3. Cook the pasta until slightly underdone, then rinse it under cold water. Combine it with the cheese sauce and pour it into the buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with the buttered bread crumbs and bake for about 30 minutes, until the mixture bubbles and the crumbs are brown. Let the dish set for 5 minutes before serving.
Serves 6 to 8
