Arrest Warrant Issued for Driver in Brandywine Crash

An arrest warrant has been issued for the driver of a stolen car who reportedly fled the scene of a Brandywine crash that killed one passenger and seriously injured another.

The Prince George's County Police Department is searching for the driver, who was seen running from the crash site on July 17. Police say the suspect is Bryant Christopher Lewis, 23, of Shirl Court in Clinton. Detectives believe he may now be driving a Mercedes similar to the one pictured.

Investigators say the Ford Mustang driven by Lewis at the time of the crash was stolen. He now faces multiple charges related to the stolen auto and leaving the scene of an accident.

The crash happened in the 16300 block of McKendree Road. Investigators believe Lewis was speeding eastbound, lost control of the car, which left the roadway, and struck a utility pole.

The front-seat passenger -- Brendan Munnerlyn, 23, of Myrtle Oak Court in Waldorf -- was thrown from the Mustang and killed. 

A rear-seat passenger was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. That victim’s name has not been released.
