DOWNSVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police say a woman was struck and killed by a car as she was walking her dog across a road in Downsville.
It happened about 8:30 a.m. Thursday on Downsville Pike. Troopers say Elinor McLeod, 81, of Williamsport was walking east across the road when she was hit by a car.
