LAUREL, MD — All lanes of I-95 northbound were blocked late Thursday morning, as was the I-95 northbound left lane at MD-198 due to a massive crash near Laurel.
The delay had traffic backed up for at least two miles, which officials stated on social media was caused by a tractor-trailer that had overturned with the driver trapped inside.
Maryland DOT traffic cameras showed a large response from emergency responders, including police, fire crews and tow trucks, and their traffic monitoring website showed lanes remained closed for some time after the crash.
Emergency workers extricated the driver, who was taken to the hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
