All Lanes Of Southbound Capital Beltway Reopened After Overturned Tractor Trailer

OXON HILL, Md. (WJZ) -- Maryland State Police are investigating after an overturned tractor-trailer caused a closure near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge for most of Saturday morning.

The accident required responses from the Maryland State Police, Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, Prince George's County Fire and EMS, Prince George's County HAZMAT and State Highway Administration.

The Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division continue the investigation into the crash and charges are pending.
