At the home of Jose Armando Escobar, a grieving woman who answered the phone simply said, "He died." Then she hung up.
Dimaggio’s husband said that “she was a mama bear to everyone” and took pride in what she did. She and George Durm were married for 3½ years, and she had two children from a previous relationship.
“She was my life, my love, my everything,” Durm said.
The driver of the Acura, Lisa Adrienne Lea, 54, of Randallstown, Maryland, was being treated at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, said police, who did not provide her condition.
She was alone in the vehicle, police said.
"Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation and consultation with the Baltimore County State’s Attorney," state police said in a statement.
Lea was trying to change lands around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday when she struck the "front corner panel" on the passenger side of a Volkswagen and careened into a work zone between the Jersey barriers and struck the workers before her car flipped over, police said.
Helicopter video showed the Acura upside down surrounded by broken construction materials and other debris. All of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The Volkswagen was driven by Melachi Brown, 20, who was not injured, police said. He pulled over north of the crash site on I-695 "where his vehicle became disabled," police said.
Dimaggio had been on construction jobs for a long time but had concerns about this job, her husband said. “This job scared her. Lots of traffic. Not enough lights. Not enough protection,” Durm said.
Attempts to contact family members of other victims were not successful Thursday.
Multiple agencies are investigating with the Maryland State Police Crash Team, including the state Transportation Department Occupational Safety Office and the National Transportation Safety Board.
The investigation's findings will be submitted to the Baltimore County State Attorney’s Office for review.
