There was heavy traffic on I-68 near Cumberland, Maryland due to icy road conditions on Friday, Dec. 13.
Freezing rain in western Maryland appears to be the reason for the closure of eastbound I-68. It appears that ice may have been a factor in an accident just west of Cumberland.
According to MD State Highway's CHART website, cars and trucks were seen sitting on eastbound I-68. At the time of the closure, freezing rain was reported with temperatures in the upper 20s.
A few showers on Friday morning with some areas experiencing freezing rain north and west of D.C. anticipated issues around the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas. The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory Friday for areas north and west of D.C. until Friday afternoon.
As of 10:30 a.m., cars and trucks were seen moving again, but slowly.
