Multivehicle Accident Closes Route 90 Bridge..........

Update: Chopper 16 reports at 11:45 a.m. that the Route 90 bridge has reopened following a four-vehicle crash about an hour ago. Although the bridge is now open, traffic both in and out of Ocean City is badly backed up.
PLEASE USE CAUTION.


OCEAN CITY, Md. - A four-vehicle crash Monday morning has traffic blocked in both directions on Route 90 approaching the bridge into Ocean City, police reported.

The crash, which occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m., forced closure of Route 90 at Md. Route 589 (Race Track Rd.) west of the bridge. Six people are reported injured, and a helicopter has been called for medical evacuation, Ocean City police reported. Radio reports refer to "mass casualties."

All traffic in and out of Ocean City that normally crosses Assawoman Bay on the Route 90 bridge is being routed south toward Route 50. Traffic is backed up in both directions, but is particularly bad trying to leave Ocean City, police said.
