In Loving Memory of Alex Rodriquez Hines
OXON HILL, Md. – The community mourns the tragic loss of 24-year-old Alex Rodriquez Hines of Bryans Road, who passed away in a devastating traffic collision early Friday morning. Hines, a young man remembered for his warmth, energy, and the joy he brought to those around him, was taken far too soon.
On February 27, 2026, at approximately 4:30 a.m., law enforcement officers responded to a severe two-vehicle crash near the intersection of Indian Head Highway and the Capital Beltway. The preliminary investigation by the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit indicates that a vehicle traveling northbound entered the southbound lanes of Indian Head Highway, approaching the Capital Beltway overpass. Tragically, it collided head-on with Hines’ southbound vehicle.
Emergency personnel arrived swiftly, but despite their efforts, Hines was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover from non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident to determine what led to this heartbreaking event.
