Loose Windmill Blade Causes Delays for Maryland Commuters

  • On June 30, 2025, a wind turbine blade detached from a truck on I-70 near I-81 in Hagerstown, blocking lanes in both directions and halting traffic.
  • On June 30, 2025, a westbound tractor-trailer struck a guardrail around 5:30 a.m., causing a wind turbine blade to slip off and cross into eastbound lanes.
  • Three lanes eastbound and four westbound lanes closed; blade cleared by 8:10 a.m., with one worker hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries.
  • Drivers in Washington County faced major delays for about three hours due to lane closures, with residual slowdown expected as crews clear the scene, according to officials.
  • Maryland State Police continue investigating the blade's loose detachment, with News4 working to determine how it ended up on the highway.
