Inner Loop of Beltway Reopens After Truck Overturns, Spills Fuel

The Inner Loop of the Belway is back open after an early morning accident left a box truck overturned and a tractor-trailer stretched across the roadway. 

Maryland State Police were called to the scene near Georgia Avenue just after 5 a.m. Thursday. The Inner Loop was closed for just under two hours, with cars inching by on the right shoulder.

Crews quickly removed the jackknifed tractor-trailer from the scene, but the box truck took a little longer to upright. HAZMAT crews were also called to the scene to clean up the fuel that leaked from the box truck's saddle tanks. 

There's no word on any injuries.
