Good morning, Rockville.

Today, a tractor-trailer carrying refrigerated mushrooms crashed on the outer loop of I-495 between Old Georgetown Road and River Road in Montgomery County—leaving the vehicle hanging off a bridge, closing all lanes, and prompting crews to extricate the injured driver who was taken to a hospital.

Joan Debra Voith, 69, a Derwood resident, was walking her dog on a sidewalk near Muncaster Mill Road and Applewood Lane when she was fatally struck by a brown 2017 Buick Envision—police said the driver crossed into opposing lanes, remained at the scene, and her dog was unharmed.

Montgomery County court completed jury selection and opening arguments yesterday as FBI agent Eduardo Valdivia faces trial for allegedly sexually assaulting three women after offering free tattoos and photoshoots at his tattoo studios, with witness testimony set to begin today.

Montgomery County has a busy week ahead with planned community events from today through Sunday—featuring a golf simulator happy hour in Rockville, trivia contests and outdoor concerts along with a dance party and a poolside movie night in Silver Spring and neighboring areas.

Montgomery County Council will vote on July 15 to create a new 300-acre district in White Oak near the FDA headquarters and Adventist Hospital.

The plan will use tax increment financing to pay for roads and services and is expected to bring both construction and permanent jobs, though one public speaker said it might mainly offer temporary work — a concern for broader business growth.

A proposed Montgomery County Council bill would require hotels that receive county funds to sign labor peace agreements and it drew both union support and industry opposition during a recent public hearing.

The legislation—sponsored by council President Kate Stewart and two councilmembers—will affect future contracts and be reviewed at a joint committee meeting on July 24.
