A crash involving two tractor-trailers that jackknifed closed the Inner Loop of the Capital Beltway for five hours early Friday.
The collision between Connecticut Avenue and Georgia Avenue occurred on wet roadways around 12:40 a.m., according to WTOP Traffic.
The flatbed of one of the tractor-trailers was hauling steel beams that spilled onto the highway, leaving metal debris in the road.
Heavy equipment was brought in to put the metal back on the flatbed. A dumpster was brought in for the rest of the debris.
Both tractor-trailers spilled fuel on the Beltway.
No injuries were reported, according to Pete Piringer, spokesman for Montgomery County Fire & Rescue.
