Route 1 at Port Capital Drive Collision Sends One to Shock Trauma

One person was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center after a two-vehicle crash on Route 1 in Elkridge Thursday afternoon.

Police received a call at 3:08 p.m. that there was a collision on Washington Boulevard at Port Capital Drive, said police spokeswoman Elizabeth Schroen.

One passenger was taken by ambulance to shock trauma as a result of the crash between a tractor-trailer and passenger vehicle, said Schroen.

The tractor-trailer, labeled as a Giant Food vehicle, had leaked "fluid," said Schroen and officials shut down lanes on US-1 for approximately one hour to clean up.

The spill was not hazardous material, said Schroen.

According to police, the driver of the tractor-trailer and the driver of the other vehicle refused medical treatment. The person taken to the hospital was a passenger in the vehicle, said Schroen.
