BETHESDA, Md. — A tractor-trailer carrying wood crashed early Thursday morning on Interstate 495 near the big curve, causing massive traffic issues.
The crash happened on the Outer Loop right before Bradley Boulevard around 3 a.m., Maryland State Police said.
There was an extensive back up on the Beltway. Cars used one left lane of traffic to get by after all lanes were initially blocked on the roads.
The truck spilled wood along the roadway and crews are worked to clean it up. The estimated recovery of the truck and cleanup took a few hours. The scene was clear around 9 a.m.
There were no reports of any injuries.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, officials said.
