Two people have died after being struck by a car at a polling location Tuesday morning in Montgomery County, Maryland.
The police said the crash happened around 7:20 a.m. as the two were at a crosswalk on School Drive near Muddy Branch Drive and Fields Road Elementary School in Gaithersburg.
A 70-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man were killed in the incident. They are believed to be a couple. Officials say the driver remained at the scene as police arrived.
The school is a temporary polling location, but schools are closed for Election Day.
