A contracted highway worker was killed Friday afternoon in an accident on the inner loop of Interstate 695, just prior to Interstate 795 in Baltimore County, according to police and highway officials. The worker, who has not been identified, was doing preliminary work for an upcoming State Highway Administration project in the Pikesville area when the collission occurred about 2 p.m., said a SHA spokeswoman. The worker is an employee of a private contractor hired by the SHA to conduct the work, Burnette Edgar said. Few details on what caused the crash, which appears to have involved two vehicles, were immediately available, said the Maryland State Police. "We're still investigating, trying to figure out exactly what happened." The crash closed all lanes for a time, the SHA said, but Black said shortly after 3 p.m. that vehicles were passing in the left-hand shoulder and the two left-hand lanes.
