Wind turbine blade accident on I-70 in Maryland sends one to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after blade struck a guardrail and was clipped by a truck.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A wind turbine blade detached from a tractor-trailer early Monday, blocking traffic in both directions of Interstate 70 in Washington County, Maryland State Police said. The crash occurred around 5 a.m. near Exit 26 at Interstate 81 when the blade crossed the center median and landed in the eastbound lanes.

Traffic officials with the Maryland Highway Administration say a crash closed both east and westbound lanes of the highway at Interstate 81 (Exit 26). Maryland Department of Transportation cameras show what appears to be a large wind turbine blade stretching across the median, and blocking both eastbound and westbound lanes.
