Bethesda, MD (March 5, 2022) – Several people were left with injuries as a result of a motor vehicle accident reported on Saturday morning in the Bethesda area.

At around 6:40 a.m., on March 5, the Maryland State Police, firefighters, and medical personnel were all requested on-site at a crash on Interstate 495.

Reports from the police indicate that a collision between four vehicles occurred on the inner loops of the beltway. The incident caused delays between Connecticut Avenue and Georgia Avenue.

Several people were injured as a result of this accident. Medics rendered aid to victims briefly at the scene before transporting them to nearby hospitals for further care.

Emergency crews remained on-site for an extended period as they worked to clear the scene. At this time, investigations surrounding the incident are underway.

Our thoughts are with the victims who were injured in this accident. We hope for their fast and full recovery.

Car Accidents in Maryland

Auto collisions in Maryland are the cause of injuries for more than 100,000 people every year. Regrettably, no matter how careful we are while traveling through the area, we continue to see people harmed in crashes caused by the negligence of others. Some of the leading causes of crashes include:

• Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
• Driving while distracted
• Driving while drowsy
• Speeding
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Running red lights/passing stop signs

When victims are hurt in accidents, they are often left with injuries that negatively affect their health and wellbeing. Some of the injuries that we see injured parties suffer from following accidents include:

• Broken bones
• Burn injuries
• Cuts, scrapes, and abrasions
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Back injuries

Not many people have substantial amounts of money laying around to cover medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and other financial burdens resulting from their accidents.

For this reason, victims who are harmed in crashes in our state often have legal options available to help them recover compensation that they can use to alleviate the costs they face.
