What we know so far is Lisa Adrienna Lea, 54, hit another vehicle while trying to change lanes.

This caused Lea to lose control and crash into a construction zone, killing the workers. Police have not confirmed whether speed was a factor.

Lea was released from Shock Trauma as of April 12.

The Baltimore County State's Attorney is reviewing the case to determine if criminal charges should be filed.

A GoFundMe has started to support the families of the 5 victims who worked for Concrete General.
