One of the trucks involved in the five-vehicle crash tipped over, spilling fuel over the outer loop of the Beltway just past Connecticut Avenue around 12:30 p.m., Montgomery Fire Officials said.

Of the eight total patients, most injuries were non life-threatening, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service PIO Pete Piringer said. 

Maryland State Police and hazmat crews were also on scene to help. All lanes were blocked as a result before eventually reopening one lane to travel.
