MARYLAND — A Baltimore woman was sentenced Friday to 30 years’ incarceration for her role in a collision that killed six highway workers in 2023, Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger confirmed Friday afternoon.
Lisa Lea pleaded guilty in November 2025 after being indicted on over 20 charges, including negligent manslaughter and reckless driving, stemming from a fatal 2023 crash on Interstate 695.
The victims included Concrete General employees Rolando Ruiz, brothers Carlos Orlando Villatoro Escobar and Jose Armando Escobar, foreman Mahlon Simmons II and his son, Mahlon Simmons III, and KCI Technologies inspector Sybil Lee DiMaggio.
Shellenberger said prosecutors initially requested a 24-year sentence for Lea, but the judge ultimately handed down a sentence six years longer, though it accounted for the time Lea had already served.
