Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash that occurred this morning in Baltimore County.
At about 7:20 a.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police JFK Memorial Highway Barrack responded to I-95 South in White Marsh, Maryland for a report of a pedestrian struck on the roadway. According to a preliminary investigation, a tractor-trailer was parked on the right shoulder of I-95. The pedestrian, identified as Joseph Russell Thomas II, 52, of New York, was wearing a fluorescent vest and was attempting to assist another truck driver with connecting his tractor-trailer to his truck.
