Major Crash Shuts I-95 in Elkridge as Medivac Flights Spur Morning Gridlock

Drivers face extended delays across parallel routes as officials call it a developing incident.

Overview

  • Maryland transportation officials reported southbound I-95 closed near MD-100 in Elkridge early Monday, with backups building through the morning commute.
  • WBAL reported both directions of I-95 were shut earlier as helicopters flew injured patients to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
  • Traffic anchors placed the closure just north of MD-100 between exits 47 and 43, where a ladder truck’s extended boom signaled prolonged lane closures for emergency operations.
  • Spillover congestion hit the Baltimore–Washington Parkway and I-295 near MD-100, and separate issues were noted on US-50 eastbound.
  • US-1 was advised as the best alternate route, and officials said details on the crash remained limited as of the 7:26 a.m. update.
