WYE MILLS, Md. - Authorities say two people were hospitalized after a collision between a dump truck and a tractor-trailer.
Maryland State Police say on Friday, April 24, around 8:50 a.m., troopers responded to the intersection of Route 50 and Route 404. Investigators say a tractor-trailer traveling westbound attempted to make a left turn onto 404 when it was struck by a dump truck traveling eastbound on Rt 50.
Troopers say the drivers and sole occupants of the vehicles were flown to a local trauma center for treatment of their injuries.
All eastbound lanes and one westbound lane were closed to clean up the scene and investigate.
As of about 4:14 p.m., MDOT announced all lanes of eastbound US 50 had been reopened at MD 404 while one lane had reopened on the westbound side. Officials said crews were working to possibly have all westbound lanes open by 6 p.m.
