WASHINGTON — Maryland dealt with two separate major crashes on Monday morning involving tractor-trailers, likely causing headaches for anybody hoping to get to work on time. All lanes were blocked in the northbound direction of I-95 past I-895/Harbor Tunnel Thruway after an accident involving nine vehicles, including two tractor trailers. Traffic was backed up for miles before lanes reopened around 8:30 a.m.
