Interstate 95 near the Beltway reopened all of its lanes after a tractor trailer crashed and jackknifed in Baltimore County on Wednesday morning, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.
For hours, the right three lanes and right shoulder of I-95 North were closed just past Exit 49A leading to the Baltimore Beltway northbound, according to the Maryland State Highway Administration. Traffic cameras showed one lane open, with cars driving slowly past the crash.
All lanes were opened just after 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
There were no injuries, according to a statement from the Maryland State Police.
The tractor trailer crashed around 10 a.m., according to MDSHA. State police said the truck lost control and jackknifed, rendering it inoperable. The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
The crash came a day after a tanker truck carrying 7,000 gallons of fuel rolled over on the Beltway and leaked gasoline and diesel. The rollover shut down a stretch of highway for hours. Both crashes happened in Southern Baltimore County.
A snowstorm over the weekend and below-freezing temperatures have made roadways around Maryland slick. At least three people in Maryland have been hospitalized after chunks of ice flew off other vehicles and through their windshields.
