Woman Sitting In Road Hit By Car, K

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

HALETHORPE, Md. -- Baltimore County police said a 33-year-old woman was fatally struck by a car when she got out of her car after quarreling with her husband and sat down in the road.

It happened at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on Washington Boulevard in Halethorpe.

Police spokesman Bill Toohey said Hong My Le of Elkridge tried to open the car door, so her husband, 37-year-old Tu Van Nguyen, stopped the car in the left lane.

Toohey said Le then got out of the car and sat down in the right lane, where she was hit by a Toyota Corolla.

No one has been charged in the incident.

I don't care how bad an argument you have in the car with your significant other, but throwing a tantrum and sitting in the middle of the road is downright stupid. At least go sit on the side of the road! Thanks, Julie.
