A major crash shut down a stretch of the Capital Beltway’s Inner Loop on Monday afternoon in Prince George’s County.
WTOP Traffic Reporter Dave Dildine said it happened around 2:30 p.m. near Lanham, Maryland.
Alarmed callers reported a truck wedged underneath the bus.
A Maryland State Police medevac helicopter was called to the scene and landed on the Inner Loop around 3 p.m.
“It’s not every day or every month that a helicopter is called to the Beltway,” Dildine said.
Major delays developed on the Inner Loop. As of 4 p.m., one lane gets by, but it’s still bumper-to-bumper — for about six miles.
Here is the area where it happened.
