Massive Crash Involving 10 Vehicles Causes Chaos on I-95

A multi-vehicle collision involving 1 truck and 9 cars occurred Thanksgiving Day on Interstate 95, just northeast of Baltimore, resulting in two individuals being transported to the hospital.

The incident took place in Edgewood, Maryland, at approximately 1:30 p.m. Promptly responding to the crash, Harford County Fire and EMS attended to a total of 20 people, providing immediate medical assistance and two people were taken to the hospital.

The crash caused significant congestion and disruption, with three left lanes of northbound I-95 being completely obstructed. However, two lanes remained accessible, albeit slowly, for drivers passing through the affected section.

Thrilling Turkey Bowl Ends with Shocking Score of 21-20

The non-commissioned officer (NCO) team emerged triumphant over the officer team with a close score of 21-20 during the U.S. Army 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command Turkey Bowl.

Held on Fenshaw Field at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, the annual event showcased the commanding officers' physical prowess and strategic skills. Despite the wet turf and cold temperatures, the NCO team successfully defended against a two-point conversion, securing their victory.

The 20th CBRNE Command consists of Soldiers and Army civilians deployed across 19 bases in 16 states to support joint, interagency, and allied operations worldwide. The clash on the football field not only provided an opportunity for friendly competition between leadership teams but also strengthened the overall cohesion of the command.
