One person was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. Another was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“Just be aware that most of the ways you’re going to try to work your way around are going to be backed up as well,” WTOP Traffic Reporter Reada Kessler advised.
“Especially if you’re trying to go from Powder Mill Road onto the southbound parkway. That ramp is open, but a lot of people are doing it as well.”
As for the northbound lanes, there are rubbernecking delays.
