The state of Maryland sits on a central position, with its roads feeding ports as well as the nation’s capital, making the beltway surrounding the city to be one of the busiest and full of traffic in the whole country. It may be regrettable for anyone to suffer from a truck accident on this road since they will cause so much damage, apart from the injuries they might incur.
In the year 2016, a box truck taking the outer loop of the beltway collided into another truck, causing a significant accident. Apart from the drivers involved in the accident suffering from minor injuries with no one having to visit the hospital, the incident caused traffic delays that were out of this world. All the lanes in the roadways were shut off for several hours.
When truck accidents happen on the Interstate 95 and the Baltimore belt, the amount of traffic on the road will be too much and will affect several routes, like Interstate 83, 81 and 70. All the accidents that happen on Interstate roads fall under the regulations put together by the Federal Motors Carrier Safety Administration. It is their role to ensure that all the vehicles using the interstate highways are following the traffic rules and are conscious of the safety of others.
The Federal Motors Carrier Safety Administration ensures that all the drivers on the interstate roads are not under the influence of alcohol or driving under the influence of other controlled substances. They take action against drivers whose blood level is above 0.04 percent, among different scenarios.
