Early Wednesday morning, two tractor-trailers collided with each other on I-95 in the Laurel area, killing one of the drivers. The accident was reported around 4:40 a.m., blocking the right lane and shoulder between Maryland Routes 216 and 32. Traffic was stopped approaching the area, and rubbernecking caused a delay in southbound traffic. According to police reports, a red tractor-trailer rear-ended a tractor-trailer parked on the right shoulder. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Unfortunately, the driver of the red tractor-trailer died at the scene, police said. The driver of the parked truck was not injured.
What to Do if You’re Injured in an Accident
Catastrophic truck accidents are traumatizing and can lead to life-altering injuries, and even death. If you are injured in an accident, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Some severe injuries, such as brain or spinal cord damage, are not identifiable right away. So, you should go to the hospital immediately. It is also essential to contact the police if they aren’t already on the scene. Law enforcement will write a police report and collect any relevant evidence. Evidence such as medical records, photos of the damage, and witness statements can help build a personal injury case.
