A 70-year-old woman is dead after being struck by two vehicles while crossing a street Tuesday night in Rockville, Maryland.
Rockville City Police and Montgomery County Fire Rescue responded to reports of a crash in the area of Veirs Mill Road and Atlantic Avenue around 6:50 p.m., authorities said.
A preliminary investigation revealed Rockville resident Teresa Moreno De Mejia, 70, was crossing Veirs Mill Road at Atlantic Avenue when two vehicles traveling eastbound struck her, according to police. She was declared dead at the scene.
