Car Accidents in Maryland
Crashes like the one that occurred on Ocean Hwy highlight ongoing challenges facing Maryland drivers—especially on major routes like U.S. 13, which serves as a heavily traveled corridor through Wicomico County and beyond. The combination of high-speed traffic, proximity to state inspection points, and the mix of passenger and commercial vehicles often creates a volatile driving environment.
This section of Ocean Hwy near the MSP Scales is no stranger to incidents, especially during peak weekend travel hours. In this case, the emergency response effort and immediate medical care helped minimize further harm. Still, collisions here raise important questions about what additional safety measures—like improved signage, ramp visibility, or traffic flow changes—might help reduce these occurrences.
