Overturned Cement Truck Closes Beltway Lanes

A cement truck overturned on the Beltway Monday afternoon causing some lanes to be blocked on the inner loop of I495 between Colesville Road and University Blvd in Silver Spring. Two adults were transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries according to Pete Piringer from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS).

According to NBC4, there was a four and half mile back-up as of 4:05 p.m. NBC4 reported that a crane was brought in and uprighted the truck which “should be off the road soon and lanes opening soon.”
