Six people were killed when a passenger vehicle pulled into a work zone along the Baltimore beltway and struck construction workers there, Maryland State Police said Wednesday.

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, police said.


People are getting absolutely insane on roads these days. Tailgating, speeding, road rage...calm the frick down.

Some people only THINK that they know how to drive.

I don't think a day goes by that a soccer mom doesn't swerve in my lane while farting around on Facebook.

Based on the time of day, I'm going with distracted driver or a medical issue. Even if someone was road raging they would hit the brakes when they saw the workers. Very sad story.

Freak accident

The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the Acura, later identified as Lea, was traveling in lane 2 at about 12:40 p.m. this afternoon when she attempted to change lanes.  As Lea attempted to move into lane 1, police believe her vehicle struck the front corner panel on the passenger side of the Volkswagen.  Crash Team investigators believe this caused the Acura to lose control and subsequently travel into the work zone.

Some people drive their cars like they run their microwaves.

Holy shite.

Obviously the Acura driver is at fault for clipping the other car, but what are the charges going to be?

Does the driver get hit with involuntary manslaughter for the 6 deaths?

Sounds like unsafe driving, not a freak accident.

It was freaky in that it led to the Acura flipping over the Jersey barriers right onto the workers.

Was in Houma last week and they had 5 guys standing right here:



No cones, safety vest, etc. And only 1 was working. Like do you have to be within so many feet of work to get paid? Seemed extraordinarily stupid to stand there with cars whizzing in all directions for no reason.

I can think of only one factor that will decide that.
