18 Hospitalized From I-95 Crash Near White Marsh: Report

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Interstate 95 was temporarily shut down to northbound traffic Sunday afternoon as the result of a multi-vehicle crash.

The lane closures allowed multiple emergency vehicles to respond to the scene, where state transportation officials said six vehicles collided on I-95 north before the White Marsh Boulevard exit around 1:45 p.m.

The collision happened during a traffic stop on the left shoulder, and the pileup sent 18 people to area hospitals, police told The Baltimore Sun.

Charges were pending against a New York man in the crash, according to the Sun.

I-95 north closed for less than 45 minutes Sunday afternoon. By 2:30 p.m., traffic was getting by in the far right lane, the Maryland Transportation Authority reported.

All lanes were clear before 4 p.m., officials said, but there was a 3.5-mile backup on I-95 north.
