Naturally I got caught in the block as I drove through Baden...all we could hear was three fatalities and numerous cars on fire...
What set it off? What is "the rest of the story??"

I really hope it wasn't an overloaded truck or road rage...people died from this???

I saw it on the news this morning. It was a horrible scene. There were five vehicles involved, with 3 known fatalities. They were waiting to pull the dump truck off of a car to see if there were any more bodies in the car. :frown:

It started when a taxi swerved to avoid a disabled car in the left lane and went into oncoming traffic. A dump truck in that direction swerved to avoid it, went out of control and swerved into oncoming traffic the other way, hitting several vehicles. There was a canteen truck involved as well as two cars.

I would assume so, but then he isn't getting to Clinton via Rt. 4. That's like saying I got to Silver Spring today via Rt. 6.

If you said you'd gone to Clinton, the immediate assumption is you went up 301/5, like most people would do from St. Mary's. But that would mean going past the accident. By saying he went via 4, means he cut over to Calvert County first and avoided the accident.

You can take 4 to the beltway, take Woodyard Road/Allentown Road, yeah you can get to Clinton from Rt. 4, but you are going to be making a few more turns.

I would have assumed no such thing. Easy way around the accident from C.H. would have been to go across Rt. 6 till you hit 227 to 228 to Accokeek Rd. to Rt. 5. Another good option is 231 to 381 to Rt.5 or 231 to 381 to 382 to any one of acouple roads over to 301 up arond Marlton over to Woodyard. Or Rt. 5 to Gallant Green to Aquasco Rd. to Horsehead Rd. to 381 (then follow previously mentioned routes).

Pennsylvannia Ave. doesn't go thru Clinton. It goes from Calvert thru Upper Marlboro thru Forrestville to D.C.

Right, and along the way, there are exits for Coventry, Allentown, Woodyard, etc. :shrug:

I know how to get to Clinton after turning off Rt. 4, I grew up in Marlton, therefor Clinton was my stomping grounds in H.S. I was just pointing out that Rt. 4 doesn't go to Clinton.
