Numerous vehicles collide on icy overpass in Carroll County

A multi-vehicle collision occurred due to icy conditions on the Maryland 140 overpass in Carroll County as winter weather passed through the state on Friday. The Maryland State Police reported the incident at Englar Road and MD-140 in Westminster with four individuals transported to the hospital. Slippery road conditions persisted in Maryland, attributed to a mix of freezing rain and sleet, particularly affecting untreated roads in the Baltimore metro area and north of I-70. WJZ's meteorologists mentioned a heightened risk of ice accumulation in Carroll, Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil counties. The wintry conditions were expected to clear out by early Saturday morning. Additionally, the weather disrupted travel at BWI Airport, resulting in over 150 flight delays and close to 100 cancellations. Travelers like Zack Feltz and Randi Burgey shared their experiences of lengthy waits for flights and luggage, in Burgey's case, enduring flight disruptions that kept her in Baltimore until Monday. She expressed frustration with her holiday travel ordeal, mentioning a future aversion to repeating the experience.
