Accident Report
Howard County, MD — June 5, 2026, one person was injured in a truck accident at about 9:30 a.m. on Interstate 95 near Waterloo.
Authorities said a southbound box truck crashed into the back of a semi-truck near mile marker 41A, the exit for Waterloo Road/State Route 175.
A helicopter flew one person to an area hospital after the crash with unspecified injuries, according to authorities, but it is not clear how that person was involved in this accident.

How Did This Accident Occur?
It is not clear at this point how this crash happened. Did the semi-truck stop suddenly? Was the box truck driver distracted? Did the box truck have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? I don’t claim to know the answer to these questions as I sit at my desk, but they are the kind of things that authorities must consider as they investigate this crash.
They can start by scrutinizing physical evidence, witness statements, data from the trucks and any available video footage to reconstruct this accident. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time.
An outside expert likely will be needed if authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash, since most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience.
A thorough investigation should provide a clear picture of what happened on I-95 for the injured driver and his family.
