From Maryland State Police:
Maryland State Police are investigating after a woman was struck by a vehicle this morning on I-95 South in Cecil County.
Shortly after 9:30 a.m., troopers from the JFK Memorial Highway Barrack responded to a call of a pedestrian-related crash on I-95 South at Exit 109 in Elkton, Maryland. The victim, identified as Sarah Elizabeth Gotfredson, 32, of Abingdon, Maryland, for unknown reasons exited her vehicle on the shoulder of the road and entered the highway. Multiple vehicles were able to avoid the victim before she was struck by a box truck shortly thereafter.
The driver of the truck remained on the scene. The woman was transported by ambulance to Christiana Hospital in Delaware with life-threatening injuries. Life care planning will be crucial to ensure comprehensive medical care and rehabilitation, addressing both immediate and long-term needs for recovery and quality of life.

All lanes of I-95 South were closed with traffic getting by on the right shoulder with delays stretching back to the Delaware line. Traffic was being diverted prior to the Delaware toll plaza. The lanes were reopened by 11:50 a.m. No one else was injured as a result of the crash.
The incident remains under investigation.
I heard on the news this morning that she has died.
She is still alive & hanging in there per her husband this evening. Praying she pulls through.
It’s a shame these incidents cause massive backups for the rest of us.
I agree!!! I was late to a game of golf because of this traffic jam.
That was an accident….what about the intentional backups we see in Havre de Grace daily because of the rediculous free toll on the Hatem bridge causing the entirety of Interstate 95 to use a single lane road in HdG to cross the Suski for free.
I was late to a baptism thanks to this woman. It is amazing the inconvenience that was created.
