Marisa W. Harris, 22, of Olney, Md., was killed when a 12-year-old boy jumped from an overpass over I-66 on Saturday, and hit the vehicle Harris was driving, police said. Police said a 12-year-old boy jumped from the Cedar Lane overpass and landed on an SUV being driven by 22-year-old Marisa W. Harris, of Olney, Md., who died at the scene. “She was caring — I mean she had an absolute love for children,” Harris’ mother, Leigh Miller said. Given her work with children, the circumstances of her death — after a suicide attempt by a 12-year-old — were not lost on the family. Harris’ father described her as outgoing and well-traveled.
