Jackknifed Truck
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Amid intense winter weather and snowfall, 10 trucks crumpled behind one another on a Delaware bridge heading to New Jersey.
The News Journal of Wilmington reports that the 10 tractor-trailers crashed and jackknifed on the Delaware Memorial Bridge on Wednesday afternoon. Delaware River and Bay Authority spokesman James Salmon says all four lanes of the New Jersey-bound span were closed for over two hours.
Salmon says it's unclear how the crash happened, but that it was a unique situation because of the large amount of snow that accumulated in a short time. He said the agency doesn't expect to close the bridge to trucks.
It's unclear if anyone suffered injuries.
Flooding
In Somerset and Wicomico counties there was some flooding yesterday morning causing Somerset County public schools to close.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the entrance to Woodson Elementary school in Crisfield was flooded.
