On Monday morning, a wind turbine blade detached from a tractor-trailer and fell onto Interstate 70 near Exit 26 at the junction with Interstate 81 in Washington County, Maryland. The incident caused the blade to cross the median, blocking multiple lanes in both directions and resulting in extensive traffic delays stretching for several miles. The crash led to the partial shutdown of the highway, prompting authorities to close lanes on both sides of the interstate. One person was reported injured in the incident. Maryland State Police confirmed the blade came loose from the vehicle transporting it, which overturned during the crash. The disruption created a challenging commute for drivers in the area throughout the day.
