Two Dead In 55-vehicle Pileup Near Baltimore
Topic 17408 | Page 1
Was that last night? There were 8 accidents listed and one fatality at the time I was there...all different parts of 95/495 were shut down.
At like 0200 they took four lanes and pushed us off an exit that said "no trucks"..... Then we were in a residential area not meant for trucks so the trees were banging the roofs and power lines too low for my liking. Then I heard a crash and a water main broke, throwing man hole covers in the air. They made the trucks pass over the weight limited road. I was empty, but still scary.
Can't even imagine what it was like for the people in that video.

Yup. Last night on 95 near Baltimore. Can't believe you were out in it! Roads sucked and ice was everywhere.

There was an accident earlier but 511 said it was cleaned up and to take "the loop"./would have been nice to know inner or outer loop lol.
I had to go back down south and take MD 4 to US 301 to I 97. That was all fine...not icy at all. Of course I was going really slow, but it wasn't sleeting yet. When I hit just below Elkton MD the sleet was horrible. I stopped for a wash out at the BB there and the guys were nice enough so shoot the ice from my windshield, then headed back to jersey for a pick up.
Couldn't decide if I wanted to do the Delaware memorial bridge with no traffic, or wait til morning with idiots. I crossed it practically alone then shut down a couple miles north of the jersey line.
Delaware/NJ were MUCH worse than Baltimore. It took me five hours to drive 140 miles. But not only am I alive and well, but I still made it to the shipper 30min early lol

LOL! Still early?! That's incredible!
I have a buddy that went to Newburgh last night. I should ping him to see if he made the round-trip!

Sorry. Thought this was posted.
Tanker went over the side onto the CSX tracks below. About 2:50 into the video a FedEx Freight driver barely stops in-time before joining the pile-up. Though I'm sure he probably was hit afterwards.
