A 40-year-old deaf woman was struck by a Light Rail train Friday night at South Howard and West Camden streets, a Maryland Transit Administration spokesman said.
The unidentified woman was standing near the Convention Center stop with a companion at about 8:20 p.m. when she stepped out in front of the northbound train, said Terry Owens, spokesman with the Maryland Transit Administration. He said the train operator sounded the horn, but the woman did not hear it and she did not see the train because she had her back to it.
