The Friday commute is being hampered by steady rain and slick conditions, resulting in multiple truck crashes.
The first happened on the I-495 Outer Loop around 3:15 a.m. at the “big curve” sky ramp over the I-270 Spur.
According to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesman Pete Piringer, the truck had no cargo and there were no injuries, HazMat assisted with the fuel spill.
