A two-vehicle crash on southbound I-270 before Exit 12 for Watkins Mill Road in Montgomery County was tying up traffic on Aug. 21, shutting down half of the highway's travel lanes and the exit ramp heading toward DC.
The crash was reported at approximately 11:45 a.m., according to Maryland's CHART traffic system.
Two of the four southbound travel lanes were closed as responders worked at the scene.
The right deceleration lane leading toward Watkins Mill Road was also blocked, along with the right shoulder and the southbound exit ramp.
Traffic cameras showed vehicles stacking up behind the crash scene as the closures squeezed southbound drivers into the remaining lanes.
Northbound I-270 remained unaffected, with all lanes reported open.
There was no immediate word on injuries or how long the closures were expected to last.
Drivers heading south through the area were advised to expect delays.
