BALTIMORE – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police are looking for witnesses who saw the chain-reaction 23-car crash on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge over the weekend.
MDTA says a speeding blue 2018 Honda Civic may have contributed to a chain-reaction 23-car crash on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge over the weekend.
MDTA released a stock photo of the car in question.
Authorities said the car was traveling westbound on the Bay Bridge on US 50 at a high rate of speed and erratically between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. on Saturday.
Another 20 vehicles were involved in a series of secondary crashes, transportation officials said on Saturday afternoon.
Multiple injuries were reported, according to MDTA, and the Bay Bridge was closed for hours.
The multi-vehicle collision sent two people to local hospitals with serious injuries and 11 other people went to local hospitals, too. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening, transportation officials said.
