MT. AIRY, Md. — If you were caught up in severe traffic along eastbound I-70 on Wednesday morning, there was a serious three-vehicle crash between Mount Airy and Woodbine.

Maryland State Police tell us overnight a tow truck was rear-ended by a dump truck which then caused a Subaru to collide with it.

One involved driver was helicoptered to the hospital, while the other two were taken by ambulance.

There is no word on their condition.

All eastbound lanes were closed for hours, until around 8:30am when finally they reopened.
