Two people are in a hospital after a serious crash on U.S. Route 301 on Wednesday afternoon.

The Maryland State Police said a dump truck, a smaller truck and a tractor trailer all collided just after 2 p.m. around Clymer Drive and Chadds Ford Drive, in Brandywine.



Prince George’s County Fire and EMS said around 50 gallons of diesel fuel were spilled.

Hazmat teams are on the scene cleaning it up, but Route 301 was closed in both directions for some time after the crash. By 4:45 p.m., the northbound lanes had reopened and only one southbound lane was closed.

Major delays remained on Route 301, Route 5 and other nearby roads throughout the evening, said Dave Dildine in 海角社区app’s Traffic Center.
