BALTIMORE — Six construction workers were killed and a driver was hospitalized Wednesday afternoon in a collision on the west side of Interstate 695 that closed the beltway both ways for hours and snarled traffic, according to Maryland State Police.
A gray Acura entered a construction zone in the inner loop in Woodlawn, struck workers and overturned, police said. The driver of the Acura was taken by ambulance to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore for treatment. The driver’s condition and identity were not available Wednesday evening, police said.
The identities of the six construction workers who died won’t be released until next of kin are notified, police said.
