Udpate – 4:20 p.m. – Police say the man whose vehicle struck a garage in Potomac Friday morning has died. Police identified the man as Thomas A. Brown, 83, of Potomac.
Police believe Brown may have suffered a medical emergency, rather than died from injuries suffered in the collision. Investigators are waiting for the results of an autopsy before they release an official cause of death.
Rebecca Innoncenti, a police spokeswoman, said police received a call about the single vehicle collision at 9:24 a.m. in the 11100 block of Gainsborough Road. Brown was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Brown's silver 2000 BMW appears to have struck the side portion of the attached garage, then stopped in front of a window of the home.
