ARBUTUS, Md. — Maryland State Police are investigating a multi-vehicle crash early Saturday morning on Interstate 95 in Baltimore County that left two people injured.

The crash occurred around 2:50 a.m. in the southbound lanes of I-95, just south of I-195. According to a preliminary investigation, a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer driven by Persia Samina Ransford, 27, of Takoma Park, struck the rear of a 2004 tractor-trailer. The truck was being operated by Asmaeil Faraj Abusharia, 59, of Sewaren, New Jersey.

Following the initial collision, a 2016 Toyota Corolla driven by Luis Del Cid, 53, of Middle River, struck Ransford’s vehicle. Both Ransford and Del Cid were transported to Shock Trauma in Baltimore for treatment. No other injuries were reported.

Maryland State Police’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division conducted a post-crash inspection of the tractor-trailer. Emergency responders from Baltimore County Fire and EMS, along with MDOT State Highway Administration, assisted at the scene. The crash resulted in road closures for several hours.
