A major incident disrupted traffic on southbound Interstate 95 in Harford County yesterday morning when a tractor-trailer crash occurred near the Maryland Route 24 exit in Abingdon. This complex scene, which involved a fuel spill, led to the closure of all southbound lanes and prompted a substantial emergency response. WBAL-TV reported that Maryland State Police confirmed multiple vehicles were part of a collision, and four individuals were transported to hospitals; however, the specifics of their conditions were not immediately known.
The tractor-trailer ended up positioned precariously, partially straddling the concrete Jersey wall that separates the median, as depicted in photos shared by the Abingdon Fire Company, as reported by WMAR-2 News. Despite the wet conditions of the interstate from morning rain, which were evident from these images, authorities have not yet identified the cause responsible for the accident.
The Maryland Transportation Authority police indicated that the southbound lanes were eventually reopened around 1:48 p.m. As crews cleared the wreckage and managed the hazardous material spill, the normal flow of traffic resumed.
