Tractor-trailer driver dies in crash on I-95 in Laurel
BALTIMORE -- A 63-year-old man driving a tractor-trailer died early Wednesday morning in a crash on I-95 in Laurel, Maryland State Police said.
Troopers responded to the crash around 4:40 a.m. to I-95 North south of Gorman Road.
Investigators believe a tractor-trailer driven by Jonathan David Leiner, of Hampstead, N.C., rear-ended a second tractor-trailer that was parked on the right shoulder of the road.
Leiner was declared dead at the scene, police said. The driver of the parked tractor-trailer is uninjured.
The two right lanes of I-95 were closed for about seven hours after the crash, causing major morning delays.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
