TOWSON, Baltimore County, Md., Nov. 14, 2026 — Two people were taken to a hospital on Thursday afternoon, November 12, after a dump truck rolled onto its side along the Baltimore Beltway in Towson.
The crash happened around noon near the Providence Road exit on the Inner Loop of Interstate 695, Maryland State Police said. Troopers responded after the dump truck left the roadway and came to rest on its side in a wooded area alongside the highway, according to an aerial report from a local news helicopter crew.
Rescue crews worked to secure the truck before pulling two people from the vehicle. Both were taken to the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. Their conditions had not been released as of Thursday afternoon.
The crash forced a shutdown of the Beltway's Inner Loop in the area. The Maryland State Highway Administration said the two left lanes reopened just before 2 p.m. No cause has been released, and the crash remains under investigation.
We wish those injured a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do trucks need so much distance to stop?
Heavy trucks carry far more weight than passenger vehicles, so their brakes need more time and distance to bring them to a stop, especially when loaded. This is one reason rear-end and rollover crashes involving trucks can happen even at moderate speeds.
What makes truck crashes more dangerous than typical car accidents?
A loaded truck's size and weight mean a crash can cause more serious damage and injury than a collision between two passenger cars. Rollovers, like the one in this case, can also trap occupants inside the cab.
What are a truck's blind spots, and why do they matter?
Large trucks have wide blind spots along both sides, behind the trailer, and directly in front of the cab. Drivers near a truck should stay out of these zones when possible, since the truck driver may not be able to see them.
