WOODLAWN, Md. (AP) — Maryland State Police say six people were killed when a passenger vehicle pulled into a work zone along the Baltimore beltway and struck construction workers there. Troopers responded to the work zone on northbound Interstate 695 in the Woodlawn area on Wednesday afternoon for a report of a pedestrian crash. Police say six people died on the scene, and the driver of the car was taken to a hospital. The preliminary investigation found that the vehicle pulled between the jersey walls of the work zone for unknown reasons and hit multiple workers before overturning. The driver’s identity is unknown. The crash closed the highway in both directions for hours. Late Wednesday, police said investigators believe a second vehicle may have been involved in the crash.
