Annapolis, MD (July 4, 2025) – A truck crash on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge caused major traffic delays Friday afternoon after blocking all westbound lanes, according to Maryland transportation officials.
Accident Details: The crash occurred around 2:00 p.m. and involved a large box truck, which became disabled across the westbound lanes of the bridge. No injuries were reported, but the crash caused a complete shutdown of westbound traffic for several hours. Crews worked to remove the vehicle and reopen lanes by late afternoon.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The cause of the crash has not been publicly disclosed. In Maryland, truck crashes on bridges or highways may lead to legal claims if driver error or vehicle malfunction is involved. Authorities will review whether the truck operator followed all safety requirements.
I am grateful no one was injured and hope all affected by the traffic disruption remained safe.
