1 Killed In Tractor-Trailer Accident On I-95
BALTIMORE (WJZ) ―
One person is dead after a serious accident on I-95. It happened around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities say a tractor-trailer and four cars were involved in the accident at I-95 North at Washington Blvd.
Kelly McPherson reports all lanes of northbound I-95 are closed at this time. Authorities say the tractor-trailer appears to have jackknifed and then erupted into flames due to the diesel fuel onboard.
The tractor-trailer was operated by the driver and his wife. He escaped but his wife was pinned inside and she died.
Those inside the remaining vehicles suffered only minor and non-life threatening injuries. The road is expected to be closed for some time. Northbound drivers are being diverted to Caton Avenue. The tractor trailer's driver was taken to the hospital.
