This is around 8 30 last night is what we understand, he was trying to cross livingston road here. He will lives in one of these apartments here along ulivingston road. Lets show you some video that we shot last night. This section of livingston road where xavier lucky lost his life curves to the right for northbound traffic and runs along a stretch of three story apartment buildings. Police say xavier was attempting to cross the road when the unnamed driver struck him and kept on going. It was just after 8 30 in the twilight hours. There are no speed bumps there are no crosswalks that would assist pedestrians wanting to get to the park and playground across the street. Xavier lucky was in kindergarten at henle elementary as i mentioned where according to a letter sent home to parents, he was remembered as a sensitive boy who had many friends at school. His teachers appreciated the effort he placed upon his schoolwork and his cooperative nature in working with others. Shannon smith was down the street when she heard the collision. I heard a boom. And then i heard a holler. Somebody hollered said you hit that child, you hit that child. I dont even know at that time because he was in a truck and xavier so small i dont think he really knew he hit him and thats how i think he continued until he realized what really happened. We been complaning about this for a long time. Marion berry did have a crosswalk when he was mayor. There was one there and one at the beginning and there was also one at the corner but time went on, you see they keep constantly messing with the streets, so no one never came back and investigated why there isnt a crosswalk and it should be one. Reporter and the crosswalk of course would take people across to oxon hill mark and also to that the playground across the street you were just seeing a picture of the memorial thats growing here and again, were going to have a vigil here at 7 oclock tonight for little xavier. Its unclear exactly why he was crossing the street, whether he was trying to get to some friends over there or whether he was trying to get to the playground. Questions about the driver. We know he left the scene initially. Were told he called 911 and then came back to the scene. Its pretty common for Police Departments not to charge people immediately in these accidents, they want to conduct a full investigation first before they level any charges, if any at all.

Aall right, well we certainly start to see some storms popping up. It was hot today. Is this part of all part of that and real feel of summer today with the humidity up and so weve got a little bit of energy for these storms to feed on and we have a couple of severe this morning warnings. Big concern i think is hail and heavy rain with them. Not fun to be driving in this today, shawn and tony, plenty of moisture available to rain on you. What you will also find is its quite dramatic cooling as these go on by and so you know were looking at the capitol youd never know there was anything going on but most of these have been tracking a little bit north and west of the city, so far we havent had much come into the district at this point but we may have to deal with this for a little bit longer as we still have plenty of prime heating around. Were going to start with our most recent warnings which are all down here to the west and these Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are for Clark Jefferson loudoun and Washington County in maryland. You can see we have a lot of action there. Clark oh now we have a new one for Fauquier Frederick and warren so a couple of new warnings to tell you about and you can see we have quite a parade of activity with a lot of lightning and some possibility of hail with these. We did get reports of hail in a severe storm up in Carroll County. We had some pea sized hail in Montgomery County and there might have be a of hail here east of charlestown as weve been watching these go by. The movement is generally east. The threat is the heavy rain but in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning you can also get a wind that could gust to 60 miles an hour so trees are a concern. Hail and lightning as well. So, these are again going to be tracking off to the east. Well put a little fan on here and you can see some of the tracks. Some of these names you probably never heard of. Thats whats going on. The storm were tracking up through Montgomery County that has weakened as its approaching the columbia area. A straggler toward the damascus area but thats just dropping rain, nothing too severe with that one and we had been tracking a stronger storm up toward Carroll County but it looks like that storm is wearing itself out. Kind of a busy night around here with a lot of lightning and we are certainly aware that many of you may have plans for this evening. Were going to have to wait for these storms to pass on by. Thats the storm that weve been tracking pushing on up into no longer really severe for carroll. Everything in motion and you can see that not only is this moving due east but still a little bit more developing out here along interstate 81 and that is also going to likely track in the direction of some of our western suburbs. So, well watch that for you as we go through the night. Temperatures right now where youve had a storm youve cooled off, like winchester 72, frederick bouncing back from 79 degrees. Bottom line, another hot day tomorrow. We could see more storms tomorrow afternoon. Lets take you to that sevenday forecast and youll be able to see that after we get through our 91degree day tomorrow, big cooloff coming for the weekend. Saturday much cooler at 74. Sunday cooler, maybe some storms around on monday and well rebounds next week but no more heat wave after we get through tomorrow. Dont go anywhere. Well be right back.
