Video: Bus accident closes I-95 near Cecil County

THE TOUR
BUSES THAT WERE CARRYING CARING
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
WE ALL HAPPENED -- WE HAPPEN TO
NOTICE THEY WERE ALL IN UNIFORM.
WE WERE SO BUSY APPEAR THAT I
IMAGINE THEY WILL BE HERE FOR A
WHILE AND MAY BE ABLE TO BE
INTERVIEWED BY MARYLAND STATE
POLICE, WHO WILL BE COVERING THE
ACCIDENT.
JASON: IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE
ALL HEADED TO D.C., BUT
INTERESTING OF ALL PEOPLE TO END
UP SEEING AN ACCIDENT OCCUR IS
LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE WHO KNOW
HOW TO HELP OUT.
ROY: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE
GOING TO TRY AND OPEN UP MAYBE
ONE OR TWO LANES OF NORTHBOUND
I-95 HERE MOMENTARILY TO LET
SOME OF THIS TRAFFIC COMING
NORTHBOUND START WORKING ITS WAY
UP.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL SHUT
DOWN A LANE OF TRAFFIC HERE SO
THEY ARE ABLE TO ALLEVIATE SOME
OF THE TRAFFIC.
WE ARE MONITORING THAT RIGHT
NOW.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THEY ARE ALLOWING TRAFFIC TO
START MOVING -- ALL THREE LANES
ON 95.
NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC HAS OPENED UP
AS WE SPEAK.
SOUTHBOUND IS STILL SHUT DOWN.
IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER PIECE OF
EMERGENCY INCREMENT IS
RESPONDING.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE A
COMMAND POST OF SOME SORT.
JASON: WE DID HEAR FROM STATE
POLICE.
THEY WERE SENDING A PRESS
OFFICER THERE.
IT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME IF THAT
IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING.
ROY: LOOKS LIKE A COMMAND POST
VEHICLE.
I AM STILL TRYING TO GET MORE
INTEL ON THIS.
YOU ARE ABLE TO GET MORE THAN I
AM RIGHT NOW WITH HOW BUSY IT IS
GETTING.
WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER NEWS MEDIA
HELICOPTERS TRYING TO RESPOND TO
THE LOCATION.
JASON: YOU NAVIGATE AND WE WILL
FILL IN THE HOLES.
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A BUS ON ITS SIDE.
THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW TO GET
THERE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE
INVOLVED AND IN THEIR?
YOU CAN SEE THE GUARDRAIL
TWISTED AND THE BUS MANGLED AND
A TREE DOWN.
JUST HOW FAR UP DID THAT BUS GO
UNTIL IT GOT TO THAT POINT.
AN INTERESTING FACT, GOOD
SAMARITANS WHO STOPPED ON THEIR
OWN THREE TOUR BUSES FROM DAVID
THOMAS TRAVIS, WERE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS NOT
INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT AT ALL.
THEY SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND
ROUNDED WAY TO D.C. AND WER
ABLE TO STOP AND HELP.
THIS IS THE TREE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THAT WE ASSUME CAME AND
DOWN -- CAME DOWN IN THIS CRASH.
WE DID SEE A BUS PRETTY WELL
MANGLED AND GUARDRAIL PRETTY
WELL MANGLED AND TRAFFIC THAT
FOLLOWS CAN ONLY HOLD IN PLACE.
WITHIN THIS TIME, TWO
HELICOPTERS HAVE SINCE LANDED,
ONE FROM MARYLAND AND ONE FROM
DELAWARE, EACH TAKING A PATIENT
TO THE HOSPITAL.
ALSO, WITH SAW SOMEONE IS GOING
INTO AN AMBULANCE.
WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY
PEOPLE ON BOARD.
WE DID GET A REPORT THAT IT
SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE A DOZEN OR SO,
BUT THAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN
CONFIRMED.
STATE POLICE IN MARYLAND HAVE
SENT THEIR OWN TROOPERS THERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON TH PICTURE,
TRAFFIC IS FINALLY MOVING.
THOSE FOLKS HAVE BEEN WAITING IN
THOSE VEHICLES FOR A WHILE AND
THEY WILL MOVE BY AT A CRAWL AND
THEY WILL GO RIGHT BY THAT
ACCIDENT AS THEY GO UNDER 155
AND GO RIGHT PAST THE SCENE.
WHAT WAS INTERESTING, THAT
TRAFFIC WAS BEING ROUTED IF THEY
COULD OF TO A RAP ACROSS THE
BRIDGE AND BACK DOWN THE OTHER
DIRECTION.
" HAVE PROBABLY TRIED TO FIND
A.M. -- THOSE PEOPLE HAVE
PROBABLY HAD TO FIND AN
ALTERNATE ROUTE.
IF YOU KNOW SOME ONE IS GOING TO
BE HEADED NORTHBOUND 95 THROUGH
HAVE OR DEGREES, LET THEM KNOW
THAT THEY WILL MOVE THROUGH VERY
SLOWLY.
THE CAMERA HAS BEEN MOVING FOR A
BIT HERE AND WE ARE A BIT NORTH
OF WHERE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF
EMERGENCY VEHICLES, STATE
POLICE, FIRE RESPONSE, AND A
COMMAND CAR.
WE KNOW THAT A COMMAND CENTER IS
ALSO THERE.
THIS WAS A HUGE RESPONSE.
ONE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.
WE ARE COMING UP ON IT RIGHT
ABOUT NOW.
PERHAPS THAT IS WHAT THE OTHER
RECORD IS.
IF WE GO FURTHER TO THE LEFT,
YOU WILL SEE THE ACTUAL BUS THAT
WAS INVOLVED ON ITS SIDE.
IT IS A LITTLE SMALLER THAN A
TOUR BUS.
I EQUATED WITH WHAT YOU MAY SEE
WITH SPORTS TEAMS OR MAYBE EVEN
A BAND.
SARAH, HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE
APPEARED NORTHBOUND MOVING A
LITTLE BIT.
SOUTHBOUND IS WHAT YOU HAVE YOU
WILL NOT MOVE MUCH.
SARAH: WE ARE WATCHING THE
NORTHBOUND SIDE ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
IT IS MOVING AT A VERY SLOW
PACE.
THIS WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO
DISSIPATE.
IF YOU ARE JUST JOININ US, THIS
IS A LIVE PICTURE SEWING
SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC STILL STOPPED
AT THE SCENE OF THIS OVERTURNED
A BUS CRASH YOU CAN SEE
SOUTHBOUND LANES ARE BLACKED.
THIS THAT THEY HAVE ARE TO GRACE
-- HAVE ARE THE GRACE -- HAVE
HER TO GRACE WHAT AND THE WORL
HAVRE DE GRACE.
AT LEAST TRAFFIC IS GETTING BY.
DELAYS ARE GOING BACK TOWARD THE
ABERDEEN EXIT.
IF YOU NORMALLY TAKE 95
NORTHBOUND, GET OFF AT ABERDEEN,
TAKE THAT OVER TO POLASKI
HIGHWAY.
OR SKIP THE ALTERNATE AND TAKE
ROUTE ONE.
THERE ARE GOOD ALTERNATES TO GET
AROUND THE SPIRITS OUT DOWNED
95, NO WORD YET ON HOW LONG THAT
IS GOING TO BE CLOSED.
WE ARE SWITCHING OVER TO SHOW
YOU HOW TRAFFIC IS EASING ON 95
AS YOU MAKE YOUR APPROACH TO THE
ACCIDENT SCENE IN THE NORTHBOUND
DIRECTION FROM ABERDEEN.
