The Maryland State Police responded to a call about a disabled vehicle on the roadway near the Intercounty Connector/MD-200, in the area of Beltsville, Maryland, shortly after 9 p.m. They said a Dodge Caravan was approaching the disabled car when it was struck from behind by a tractor-trailer, police said. A Volkswagen was also struck following the first crash.
