The crash occurred on Interstate 695 in Baltimore County, Maryland State Police said. Authorities believe an Acura driver, identified as 54-year-old Lisa Adrienna Lea, was trying to change lanes around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday when her vehicle struck the front passenger side of a Volkswagen.
The crash caused Lea to lose control of the Acura, which veered into the highway work zone, police said, between the temporary jersey walls.

Rolando Ruiz, 46
