Person falls off Baltimore bridge and dies after crash on I-395

By Rich Hunter

A person has died after falling off a bridge on an interstate into the water below in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sunday night. The person fell over the jersey wall after a crash on Interstate 395 and Interstate 95, the city’s fire department said in a news release. Baltimore City fire spokesman Kevin Cartwright told WBAL-TV that paramedics were called to a crash around 9:45 p.m. While crews were assessing a crash victim, a second multivehicle crash occurred, causing one person at the scene to fall over the ledge, WBAL-TV reports. Crews recovered the person’s body from the water. Fire officials confirmed that person was a civilian — not a first responder. The interstate closed just before 11 p.m. and reopened by 1:45 a.m., according to the Maryland Transportation Authority

It isn’t clear what led up to the crashes.
