BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — A jack-knifed tractor-trailer closed Interstate 95 north near exit 64 for more than three hours Wednesday. The highway reopened by 2:30 p.m., according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Three vehicles crashed before 10:45 a.m., authorities reported.

I-95 was closed to northbound traffic past the exit for I-695, and traffic was detoured from I-95 onto I-695; however, traffic on the Express Toll Lanes (which do not have I-695 access) flowed as usual.
