HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- The Washington County Sheriff's Office says a woman was killed and her husband was hurt when the motorcycle they were on was hit by a van.

It happened shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday on Halfway Boulevard. Sheriff Douglas Mullendore tells the Herald-Mail of Hagerstown that a van driven by Charles Zulauf, 69, of Hagerstown hit the motorcycle and pushed it about 100 feet.

Mullendore said Susan Miller was pronounced dead and Terry Miller was in critical condition.

The accident is under investigation.
