A crash involving dozens of vehicles and a tractor-trailer shut down Interstate 95 in South Baltimore Saturday morning.
At least two people were killed and 15 were injured in the icy pileup, three of those seriously.
Emergency crews at the scene said at least 55 vehicles and one tanker were involved in the crash near the exit for Washington Boulevard on I-95 south just before 5 a.m.

I’m guessing fog, combined with too fast driving and slippery roads led to a famous pile up.
Happens every winter.
RIP.
Not good.
So I turned around.
I think I read ice. Climate violence?
Global Warming claims more victims. /sarc
Geez. Slow down, be aware of weather and road conditions. Stay safe.
We are in it at this very moment 12:55pm. Waze just redirected us off 95 onto US 1 S.
Wow
I am about an hour south, It was crappy this morning. I left thirty minutes earlier then normal, and glad I did. Icey conditions were in the forecast so was not surprised to see it. I took my time and had no trouble. I did see a tractor trailer off in a ditch, and the occasional knucklehead driving 10 mph with their flashers on, but all in all not to bad.
LOL. Safety first.
No way in Hades you will get me up there this time of year. (except maybe the inauguration if I can get tickets)
It was 15 degrees yesterday, and below freezing for several days, when freezing rain started after midnight, and continues even now. Expected to not reach above freezing until after noon. All trees are glistening in a coating of ice. The fact that it is the first weather event of the season makes it still worse, as there is no residual salt on the road from prior events.
Amazing this guy got that shot live. Video already has over 4M views. Like a scene out of a movie.
RIP.
Mixed precipitation of rain and frozen rain hitting cold ground, and in this case elevated freeway. My wife tried to leave for an early errand and took a tumble on the steps. She came back inside and went to bed.
Do the people at cBS ever even glance at the story before writing the headline? The head line says 40 vehicle, the body, in the first paragraph says 55 vehicles. Well, which is it? 40 or 55?
Well good thing for global warming. Imagine how much colder it’d be without it. (do I really need the /sarc tag?)
