A 50-year-old Laurel man was killed when he stumbled across a highway and fell in front of an oncoming traffic.

Anne Arundel County police said it appeared that the pedestrian, Robert Leo Gore, was intoxicated. At about 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Gore was trying to cross Maryland Route 198, just west of Whiskey Bottom Road, when he fell in the westbound lane.

He was run over by a Buick Century followed by a Mercury Mountaineer, and pronounced dead at the scene.
