A woman is dead and her husband is seriously injured after they were hit by a dump truck on Route 118 in Germantown.
The accident occurred about 12:50 p.m. Thursday on Germantown Road near Clopper Road. Investigators say the couple was walking south in the southbound travel lane of Germantown Road.
Police say the lane was closed to through traffic for construction traffic access to an adjacent site.
Authorities say the victims were hit by a dump truck that was backing south in the closed lane.
Yunshu Li, 74, died at the scene. Her husband, 78-year-old Xiufeng Wang, was in serious but stable condition at Suburban Hospital.
The driver of the dump truck, Jack Bowers of Taneytown, remained at the scene and called 911.
The accident is under investigation.
