BALTIMORE (AP) - A Maryland woman died early Sunday after it appears a car struck her disabled vehicle along Baltimore’s beltway, ejecting her before she was struck by oncoming traffic, police said.

Danielle Tavakoly, 35, of Owings Mills, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a Maryland State Police news release.

Tavakoly was driving a Hyundai sedan about 1 a.m. on Interstate 695 when her car struck a concrete median and became disabled on the shoulder, police said. Crash investigators believe moments later a Honda sedan struck the rear driver’s side of the Hyundai, which rotated the vehicle and ejected Tavakoly. She was subsequently struck by traffic.



Police were still investigating Sunday. The Honda’s driver wasn’t injured, according to police.
