A 23-year-old man who had stopped his Honda automobile on the shoulder of Interstate 95 in Howard County was killed early yesterday when another car slammed into the rear of the vehicle.
Police said the other driver was intoxicated - with a breath test showing a blood alcohol level of .14. A Maryland law that took effect Sept. 30 lowered the definition of driving under the influence to .08.
The victim, Oscar Mendez Vides, a Dominican national whose last known address was in Arlington, Va., was pronounced dead at the scene near Route 216. He had been driving his 1985 Honda Accord north on I-95 when he apparently pulled over because of mechanical trouble, and it was struck by a Lincoln Mark 8, police said.
