BALTIMORE -- Major traffic delays are expected Thursday morning on I-83 in Timonium after a trash truck collided with a tractor-trailer, shutting down the highway and prompting a rescue operation. 

Units responded shortly after 5 a.m. to the crash on I-83 at Timonium Road. All lanes of northbound I-83 were closed near the I-695 ramp, causing delays on both the inner loop and outer loop of I-695, said the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Baltimore County fire officials said a person was extricated from the accident and being transported to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center by the Maryland State Police Aviation.
