Tanker truck rollover crash closed all lanes of I-695 Inner Loop in Baltimore County
All lanes of the Interstate 695 Inner Loop were closed Tuesday for hours due to a rollover crash involving a gasoline tanker truck, according to Baltimore County rescue officials.
Officials said a tanker truck carrying nearly 7,000 gallons of gasoline rolled over, prompting a fuel leak. No injuries were reported.
Due to the incident, the inner and outer loops of I-695 are expected to be closed for a long period of time, officials said.
Around 8:30 p.m., all lanes of the I‑695 Inner Loop between I-95 (Exit11) and I‑295 (Exit 7), and the left lane of the Outer Loop near I-95 were reopened, according to the Maryland State Highway Administration.
The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and Hazmat teams responded to the scene and carried out foam operations, according to officials. The MDE said crews helped "contain leaks, deployed absorbents, and coordinated offloading thousands of gallons to limit environmental harm."
The crash came as some roads and highways remain icy following a winter storm on Sunday and ongoing freezing temperatures across the state.
