Semi Kills Husband, Seriously Injures Wife
On February 26, 2010 at approximately 11:20 p.m., a semi traveling along I-95 struck a husband and wife standing on the side of the interstate. According to a Baltimore Sun article, the couple had been traveling in separate vehicles along the highway when they pulled over and exited along the side of the highway. Investigators are unclear as to why the couple pulled over.
Based on the article, the 38-year-old husband, driving a Dodge Charger, exited his vehicle and reportedly went to meet his 39-year-old wife who was standing outside of her Dodge Durango along the northbound lanes of I-95 in Harford County. State police report that a tractor-trailer drove by and struck the couple while they stood together on the side of the roadway.
Although Emergency Medical teams rushed to aid the injured couple, the husband’s injuries were too severe. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The wife was transported to Maryland Shock Trauma Center and was in critical condition. Police shut down the northbound lanes until early the following morning to investigate the cause of the truck crash in Maryland.
