One person died after an overturned gas tanker exploded on a highway in Frederick, Maryland, causing a fire that damaged nearby homes and vehicles, state police say
Flames and smoke billowed into the air after the tanker exploded on US Route 15 in the western Maryland city, about 50 miles west of Baltimore, according to Ron Snyder, public information officer for Maryland State Police . After several hours, the fire was put out and the hazardous materials, which were in the line of gasoline and diesel fuel, were contained, Frederick County Fire and Rescue Chief Tom Coe said during a news conference Saturday afternoon.
The mayor said none of the tanker’s hazardous materials entered the city’s sewer system, but officials will continue working with state investigators to make sure there are no lasting impacts. “We will continue to monitor the environmental effects of this incident in the coming days and weeks ahead,” O’Connor said. Southbound lanes of the highway were reopened Saturday afternoon, while northbound lanes remained closed as authorities investigated the crash, according to MDSP.
