A brother and a sister were killed when the car they were traveling in was struck by a driver who blew through a red light early Thursday in Cecil County, Maryland State Police said.
Troopers responded to the intersection of Pulaski Highway and Delaware Avenue at about 5:15 a.m. for a two-vehicle collision. Responding officers learned of two fatalities from the crash.
Police said a silver 2011 Honda Civic entered the intersection to make a left turn from southbound Delaware Avenue on to eastbound Pulaski Highway on a green light. A gray 2017 Dodge Ram pickup traveling westbound on Pulaski Highway came through the intersection while having a red light and struck the Honda in the side.
Cecil County Emergency Services pronounced both occupants of the Honda dead at the scene.
