One person is reported injured after a wind turbine blade broke loose from a truck and crashed into traffic on Interstate 70 in Maryland.

It happened early Monday morning in Washington County, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) confirmed to Fox News Digital.

“At approximately 5:30 a.m., a tractor trailer traveling westbound on I-70 was pulling a wind turbine blade that struck the guardrail causing the blade to go partially into the eastbound lanes,” a statement said. “The blade was then clipped by a tractor trailer traveling eastbound.”

The crash resulted in the closure of all westbound lanes of I-70 at I-81 and two lanes in the eastbound direction, the Maryland SHA said on X. 

All lanes were reopened by 8:28 a.m., a subsequent post said.

The scene, captured by a Maryland Department of Transportation camera, showed the blade in the middle of the interstate while impacting traffic on both sides. 

“Heavy tow crews were able to back the truck up after the guardrail was cut out and get the trailer back onto the westbound lanes.  The entire unit was then driven up to I-70 west of Md. Rt. 63 and parked on the wide shoulder,” SHA’s statement said. 

The one person taken to the hospital had non-life-threatening injuries, according to FOX 5 DC.
