Emergency crews responded Wednesday afternoon to a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 695 in the Parkville area that caused significant traffic delays and blocked several lanes along the inner loop.
According to reports, the four-vehicle collision occurred just before 4:00 p.m. on the inner loop of I-695 near the Perring Parkway exit. Police, fire crews, and other emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene to assist those involved and manage traffic congestion.
Several inner loop lanes were temporarily blocked as first responders worked to assess the situation and clear the damaged vehicles from the roadway. The crash quickly led to heavy traffic backups in the area, with motorists experiencing substantial delays during the late afternoon commute.
At this time, authorities have not released information regarding the cause of the collision, and there has been no immediate word on whether anyone was injured. Officials continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the crash.
Drivers traveling through the area are being advised to exercise caution, reduce speeds, and consider alternate routes if possible while emergency crews remain on scene and traffic conditions improve.
Additional information, including the extent of any injuries and details regarding the cause of the crash, is expected to be released as the investigation continues.
