Malloy News Brief: Frederick Truck Crash
A pair of accidents on I-70 West in Frederick county further slowed an already rainy commute on the morning of Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. The collision between a commercial truck and a Ford Escape SUV led to at least one hospitalization. A separate incident led to the loss of thousands of dollars in produce. Read on for the full story on this Frederick truck crash in this week’s Malloy News Brief.
Frederick Truck Crash – 10/8/2025
The first accident of the evening in Frederick County took place around 2:15 AM, on St. Paul Road near Hancock. A truck carrying thousands of pounds of lettuce overturned in a work zone and blocked all eastbound lanes until police and emergency services could clear the wreck. Given the difficult circumstances American farmers have been facing in recent months, this incident is especially unfortunate. No injuries have been reported from this crash.
Later in the evening, a second, more serious incident would occur. Just past exit 62 in the vicinity of New Market, between 3:30 and 4:30 AM on October 8th, a Ford Escape collided with a tractor-trailer truck, sending one vehicle into the treeline adjacent to the highway and injuring the driver of the Ford. First responders requested a medical helicopter to transport the driver of the Ford to receive medical attention. However, the driving rains kept the helicopter grounded and the driver was eventually extracted by an ambulance.
The interstate reopened at 7 AM.
